Wars and U.S. Congress: Now what?
By David Swanson
*** begin quote ***

*** end quote ***
Maybe everyone will eventually come around to Ron Paul’s version of a “plan” (i.e., hop on the first thing smoking going in this direction). There’s a reason that Afpak is called the graveyard of empires.
We have to be like Switzerland, a big fat old porkypine! Don’t tread on me.
