Today, George W. Bush was sworn in for a second term as President of the United States of America. http://www.whitehouse.gov
Unlike the Ukraine, there were not enough Americans willing to protest the highly questionable election – but this should have come as no surprise.
Unlike the Ukraine – and most other nation-states – there is no real opposition party in the United States.
Very little separates the majority of politicians in the Republican and Democratic Parties.
Both endorse the illegal war, invasion and occupation of Iraq. Both endorse “Homeland Security”, the “War on Terrorism” and the suppression of individual liberties, along with the denial of the U.S. Constitution and International Law. Both endorsed the “election” results – except for 37 Members of the House of Representatives and one lone Senator (Boxer - not Kerry).
No, not enough Americans took to the streets, like their Ukrainian counterparts. What difference would it have made ?
“The American People”, as a whole, are no longer represented in Washington, D.C. They are ruled by the Republican and Democratic Parties – which are in reality, the Right and Left Wings of the unacknowledged “Corporatist Party”.
Those comparatively few stalwart individuals who continue to protest the “election” and the illegal war (or wars), who continue to question the overthrow of the democratically elected President of Haiti and who continue the investigation of the actual criminals who brought about the horrors of Eleventh September 2001, have a very difficult task ahead.
Until there is a real alternative to the “Republicrats”, there is little hope for an American return to observance of either the U.S. Constitution or International Law. Until then, Americans – and the rest of the world - must bear the consequences.
