Good evening again Lowell! Lowell C. Savage wrote to Dave Liard, in part, as follows:

To which, you replied: > Yes Dave, you and I disagree here. I believe that Bush's goal (which I > share) is "TWD". But in my case, I believe the "D" stands for > "Democratization." Now. Ain't THIS really special? So, now you pose two issues: Democracy, and secondly, why the Shrub Regime<tm>, representing America has a divine right to impose our form of govenment, along with its' value system, upon others who are of a very different orientation and culture from our own! This is profound! First, speaking as an American. The Shrub Regime<tm> does not represent my values, and the said 'regime' does not express my own willingness to support what this fascist regime portends for the whole planet, much of which I or America have no immediate control over, nor should we! Secondly, the American 'experient' in government was never intended to be a Democracy! Democracy, by definition, is mob rule. Whoever robs Peter to pay Paul, is the essence of Democracy or Mob Rule. There is a 'third' issue here to, and this is a moral one. Historically speaking, Americans never believed they had any divine right to rule the world, or force the 'American Experient' upon the entire planet. In essence, we have turned the tables totally around, and are now demanding such things as 'regime change' to government, socieities, and people we know nothing about. This is nothing short of neo-colonialism in disguise! You might not like this, but America today is repeating, and has been repeating for the last five or so decades, the same mistakes that the Germans made in the 1930s, attempting to impose upon history, their own vision of a superior race, culture, society, and political vision through the use of brute military force! Love it, or hate it, that is exactly what is and has been going on over the past five decades with America in charge. Some of the leadership questions, that is, who may really be in charge in this now, is suspect and certainly relevant for and open for debate. But this was never intended to be what the 'American experiment' in government was all about. If the rest of the world believes we are the scum of the earth, and, their judgements have credibility, although their force currently isn't even remotely equal to our own. And, maybe that's the point. We're taliing here about using 'force' to force others to comply against their own will to OUR wishes. Is use the word 'our' here very guardedly, since this has nothing at all to do with 'my' wishes. The consequence here is that our 'force', or the ability to activate force, may be crumbling due to all of these misjudgements. American taxpayers will continue to pay the price for all of these horrendous misjudgemets, long into the future. Our children will be stuck with the consequences of all of the misjudgements and decisions that 'our government' makes on our behalf. As I wrote earlier, this government is certainly not MY representative. I oppose it entirely. I will never speak in benefit to the current acts and abuse of power that this government now represents. I don't want myself, or my children or grandchilden to be stuck with the baggage that YOU Lowell, and others, seem to believe is more important than maintaining what this country began with, to be left alone to self-govern ourselves in the least instrusive way as possible!
