Wake me up when this is over

People that think Rumsfeld should go:
Head of CENTCOM 1997-2000 George Zinni,
Ret. Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold
Ret. Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack- 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq
Ret. Maj. Gen. John Batiste -- 1st Infantry Division in northern Iraq in 2004-2005

I know I do as well.

But, there are those who still support this "the Donald", and unfortunatly this is where republic begins and democracy fades.

I feel as though if Donald Rumsfeld's vision of the proper American role in shaping the world has not budged since he signed on with the Project for the New American Century in 1997. I see Rumsfeld as both a symbolic and realized flaw in Postmodern American Democracy. When Governor Bush was selected president in 2000 how were the voters to know that such a man as he would be able to manipulate the laws of reason in conflict in such a way as to gain endorsement by so many "moral" leaders in this nation.

The calls of just war came from odd interpretations of the 9/11 attackers, and the shameful rhetorical devices used to drum up support for US aggression reduce the lives of other people below the point of political significance and social relevence. Perhaps this line of reasoning depends on your not believing that something intrinsic changed on 9/11. If this is the case then consider with me our next move?

CNN on the Iranian build-up.
Does the press want another war. We must remember how good these things can be for media business as well. The question is do we believe the sovereign state of Iran has a recognized sovereignty that merits a respect from American empire. Perhaps, the question is do we believe we ever thought this was a sovereign state worth respecting. Since it seems I am speaking in realist terms of modern usage of power.

Iranian hard liners say this: On Isreal

Why is it that the legitimacy of presence by US submarines so close to the land and people of Iran assumed? Our leaders are aiming saber rattles towards nation in between both of their current wars, and the media seems alarmed by the fact that they (the Iranians) are gearing up for a fight.

so then what does objectivity mean for media in the modern age of American empire?

How good is war for the infotainment business? Is it possible they (Neo-cons, big business, Democratic and republican imperialists, disingenuous spiritual/religious leaders) only want us afraid enough to keep watching.
