Unlike the plan to build a tri-state government in Iraq, I don’t want to force the Iraqi government to adopt any government devised by the U.S.. That can only lead to more hostility and sectarian violence. Separating people that once lived side by side in harmony makes no sense. We all have seen what the break up of Yugoslavia led to. That pattern is not the pathway to peace. It is only a new path to War.
I would offer the Iraqis a simple solution to their deeply troubled Nation. I propose that we assist the Iraqi’s in building Weapons Free Safe Zones where they can prosper in Renewable Energy Villages far away from any threat of Terror.

Yippie Action at Denver Mint: Alex Jones, Meet Michelle Malkin
admin @ August 9, 2008 # No Comment Yet
A large planned protest gives Homeland Security and local law enforcement a chance to test out all their crowd control gear. They really need a way to justify all the money that has been spent on crowd control when there were no unruly crowds to control. Protesting the convention is like a battered wife saying, “I’m going to confront him and tell him not to hit me any more. I have rights,” instead of going to a shelter and getting away from the batterer. It’s asking for more brutality.
They want a repeat of old convention protests with much brutality and a lot of press coverage, and they’ll get it. And spend the next few years in court trying to get compensation for injuries and false arrest for the ones who aren’t killed. So sad. Such brave young people with such creative minds and they aren’t open to doing things differently. They have all the right ideas about democracy, but they are still thinking in terms of violent revolution.

More and more people are calling for a General Strike, for a way to withdraw our support from a system which seems heedless to the will of the people. Our governmental representatives treat
us as if “We the Rabble” are to be ignored. One group, vote strike, is doing incredible and
substantive work in calling for a General Strike on 9/11/08, with smaller strikes and economic boycotts between now and then.
I urge you to consider this call to a General Strike, the use of non-violent resistance. It is a time-honored technique, possible beginning with “Lysistrata,” and effectively used several times in the
past one hundred years.
Perhaps the only effective action left to take now in order to stop the gears and levers of this lemming-like perpetual motion machine of destruction is—to do nothing. That’s right, nothing.
To go on strike.
