-Do the democratic doctors truly want to do the surgery needed?
I worry more about that-- I don't see it. Hillary will keep the bases in Iraq, --and the stolen oil. If she does, she must keep the empire, and empire and a democratic republic are mutually exclusive. Useful talking follows experience, the more experience the better.

I fear that the bases in Iraq will stay, just as a function of inertia. Once the massive machinery lumbers into activity, it's very hard to turn it aside or, especially, to undo what's been done. That will/would require massive amounts of change, and barring externally-imposed disaster, I'm not sure the comfortable American body politic is up to confronting that.
