48. Do you think there will be Regime Change in yet another Sovereign Nation

in violation of International law, and DO YOU SUPPORT the neocon policies of creating chaos in the ME, see Ledeen on this, destroying cultures, historical artifacts, attempting to 'Christianize and Westernize'
these societies' so they are 'more like us'?

I have no clue why you are so focused on the petty details of any of this. We KNOW now that Rove was not kidding when he told the press that 'We are an Empire Now'. I thought we voted to end those policies. THAT was naive thinking as we now know.

So, to get to the big picture, not who our favorite politicians are which has become so irrelevant in the scheme of things, the question facing American now is: 'Do you want to trade this Democracy for Empire or not'?

I know my answer, how do you feel about the fact that Rove was correct, that we ARE an 'Empire Now'?
