I would say the thread was about Power rather then democracy.
But let us treat this as a thought experiment and deal with conclusions and
goals, realistically, one hopes.
I asked earlier, if we Ami's are so rotten, given the resistance of
involvement in other areas where massacres might have been alleviated; what
our the opponents of a new American empire going to do about it? My question
is how can you enforce, what will you do to punish, what will you do to
retaliate?
Can you compel the Americans to throw George Bush Jr. into prison? How might
this be actually accomplished? Would you guess that foreign protests will
influence American policy in a way that pleases you?
Yours in Cthulu,
Mitch

<<So, this mail exchange between you and Kai was about democracy, right? I
remember one very young guy at the Berlin rally this weekend, where 500.000
people protested against a war on Iraq, maybe he was 19 or 20. He carried a
poster that said: "Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity". When a
reporter asked him about his political stance he said: "I believe in
democracy. That's what my parents learned from the USA. And if my trust in
the American democracy is justified, George Troubleyou Bush will end his life
in a prison as a war criminal."
Mitch, you see, we Germans have learned our lesson and do oppose governments
who are about to commit a crime with a preemptive war.
