heard an iranian interviewed on npr today point out that iran got devastated by a bloody 8-year war in the '80s, that it has a young population—2/3 under 30—and that if they could choose between cooperation and confrontation most would opt for cooperation.
so a question comes to my mind: then why did they put that nutcase in power?
which leads me to wonder why we put our nutcase in power.
an inescapable answer: we can be fooled.
we need to face the fact that we've been fooled time and again during the past 5 years by power-hungry political strategists who know how to use our wants and fears and pride to make us vote their way, even tho they really don't know what they're doing other than to get elected.
so a question remains: will we get fooled again?
