As I learn of more violence and more killings in the Middle East 
			while thousands of American and Coalition forces hunt down Al Queda 
			and Taliban runaways I ask myself what's going on in our civilized 
			world.
			Our civilized world is the world of politics, the so-called real 
			world, the world where the little 'white lies' surfacing from every 
			angle of the world have concentrated to become the BIG LIE of the 
			Free Market, where anything goes in the name of money and power.  
			Today, the BIG LIE is best represented by the Bush 
			administration. President Bush says that we have to fight terrorism 
			at any cost and while he is spending close to half of all world's 
			military spending we are experiencing more violence abroad and more 
			inequalities at home. George Bush Jr. had no clue of what was good 
			for the people while he was governor of Texas, and he doesn't know 
			what is good for his own country and for the world either.  
			The concentrated corporate media has been telling us that George 
			Bush changed overnight on 9-11 to become the white knight for the 
			poor and defenseless, and instead he has become the mirror of his 
			axis of evil as his second shadow government holes up in some 
			leftover American bunkers of the cold war. The Bush administration 
			is spreading fear at home and abroad as we learn that this George 
			with no clothes has prepared contingency plans for possible American 
			nuclear attacks against North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, 
			Syria, Libya, Russia and China.  
			George Bush has stated that the United States is united in its 
			resolve to defeat terrorism, but this unity is achieved more with 
			the spreading of lies and fear among people than by a genuine will 
			for peace. US House Representative Dennis Kucinich has recently 
			stated that "there is a deeper truth expressed in the unity of 
			the United States. That implicit in the union of our country is the 
			union of all people. That all people are essentially one."  
			We must have a stronger resolve than Bush's push for spreading 
			lies and fear, so that we can finally see the truth away from the 
			caves of Afghanistan or the bunkers of the United States. Thank you 
			US House Representative Dennis Kucinich.
