Bush speech

Bush has said in today's speech:
"Iraqi leaders has asked for support".. and "we need troops to protect American interest in the region".
Just two clarification are needed:
Which Iraqi leader has asked for support and in what form?
What are the "American interest in the region"?

I know no one would give the clarification! Feel sorry for all the dead and the dying. Forgive me for I can't do anything more than writing this comment.

US is a strange country they would talk about impeaching Clinton for lying in "I did not have sex with that woman" but not impeach Bush for lying on a weekly basis on Iraq,
starting from WMD, "Hearts and Minds", "The war is over (in a battleship deck)" , "Peaceful Anbar" and so on

Even more amazing is John McCain's response:
"The first four years were a mistake because of Rumsfeld strategy" Four years and hundreds of thousands of life lost and you have audacity to say it was a strategy failure.

Well John, you might be a war veteran but you haven't learnt a thing from the war.

I saw the Larry king live and Anderson 360 today; and well done on the bold and independent reporting today (which was sadly missing for last 3 years).

Right now all I have to say to Americans is "Impeach bush and reclaim your democratic country from war-mongers"

Democracy & Liberty

Lets talk about democracy & Liberty a little bit.
What is democracy? Is it just "right to vote"?
most of e-savvy democratic folks, (me included) choose not vote and not even stand for any democratic elections.The several kinds of democracy: functional ones and dysfunctional ones.Us ( Hey it's me + you, not US), we just love to live in past glories and how the state was born (No state in the history of humanity was born in 100% noble way). But that should not be the right way forward, at best we take cues from past to build a strong future and take the "present" into confidence.
The primary advantage of democracy is that it believes that the governments are not always right.(Otherwise why have elections) Democracy demands active participation and constructive criticism from it's constituents.

Naive populations therefore should not boast of Democracy & Liberty. Remember revolutions are relatively easy, keeping the achievements of the revolution in the right track; that's the tough job.

What is liberty? liberty is the ability to take tough but right way, in spite of shortcuts. Although we practice in the reverse.

The fruits of liberty are speaking your mind and not get persecuted for that. Just like I am doing right now.
