Here's Why:
Scott Weiland Political Statement
I call on you to mobilize the forces.IS AMERICA REALLY HEALTHY?IS GEORGE BUSH A FASCIST?What are you going to do about it?Ever since the fall of the Soviet Union there has been a lack of a balance of power. This lacking has created an environment whereas any American president - or "two " presidents with the same name - could impose their will globally and unilaterally, for a number of reasons: anti-terror (defense spending), democracy (oil). Democracy, democracy, oil, oil, oil "All we need is oil / da, da, da, da, da ".The initial argument for war in Iraq was to rid the region of weapons of mass destruction and remove Saddam from power, making the region and the world safe from a maniacal dictator. Somehow the motive has blurred into something completely different altogether: "A free and democratic society for the people of Iraq ", most of whom don 't want what we 're selling them, and never will.And then there 's the Patriot Act whose name couldn 't be more misleading or closer to the antithesis, and would never have been passed had it not been for the fall-out factor of 9/11, and the fact that the Bush administration was playing off every American 's fears of one another. They didn 't take away our civil liberties, we allowed them to be taken away! But what are we going to do about it now!!
