Reply #19: Reality is it's OUR Constitution that is failing in Iraq

[billbuckhead]

When governments make disasterous decisions such Iraq and these insane tax cuts for the rich there will be a reckoning. Multinational corporations make a mockery our laws by almost open corruption all the while using them against people. The US has huge percentage of it's population in jail by any standard, a huge percentage of it's population without a social safety net and a electoral sytem that is among the most questioned in the world. Reality is that there will be reckoning for all these failures and more. It goes way deeper than blaming the duopoly of Karl Rove and the DLC. Neither could exist without a profound failure in our political system and the laws that govern it.

Basically this would be bloodless revolution. The founding fathers wanted periodic Constitutional Conventions and we are paying dearly for not having one.
