We can allways hope the lefty governments is able or willing to help your leftist over there in US - we better stick togheter - or get hanged in the end....

The conservative movements - specially the extreme conservative movements have been loosing power for the last 100 year or so - but sadly enough they seen to have getting a form of renessance now, specially after the "election" of mr Bush the extreme rights of the conservative movements all around the world have cranked up their ways of doing business - and a lot of the progress we "liberals" have made posible for the last 100-150 year is sudently in jepardy - becouse the conservative movements are on the rise again - and is claiming all sort of reasons to cut in rights and benefits for the common pepole... But have no interest in doing mutch sacrifice themself to the betterment of the world...

They might end up on the garbage dump of history in the end - but good know mutch damage they can do in the meantime - to the progress we have made posible just the last 150 years - labor laws - labor rights - fair sallaries - the fact that women have the right to desiede what they want to do with their body - and how they want to dress for that matter... Most of what is seen as a progressive way of living is now in danger if the extremist of the right is getting their way....

War is posible not an option for them anymore - at least not in the same way as Iraq was it - but you should not be to sure about it - as the conservatives in the US allways have been rather smart in making a war posible - in one way or another if they shoose to do so... Before Bush got into office no one belived the US to do that stupid move like it did - when it against most of her allies started a war in Iraq - who have ended up in the "Nuclear mess" we collectively is in now - as most of the Middle east now is in turmoil with no end in sight - and where the extremist is seen to have the upper hand - and is paid handsomely by Saudi-Arabia to do their dirty work - and as I understand it - Saudi-Arabia is one of the closest allies the US have in that area of the world...
