America: Armageddon by Ignorance


The excellent article (linked below) was written by Ronald Reagon's former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts. I mention this only so that readers understand that the writer's point of view is not partisan. It is, rather, based on a keen understanding of the events that have transpired in the last 5 years under the leadership of George W. Bush.

I hope that, whatever your political leanings may be, you read this article with an open mind--and think about what Roberts is saying. He has nothing to gain politically by writing it. But there is much to gain by reading it.

An excerpt follows, but I urge you to read the entire article. (It's very short.) Let it serve as a wake-up call to anyone still duped by the lies propagated by Bush & Company and their media cohorts.

Please share this article widely.

Polls Show Many Americans are Simply Dumber Than Bush
By Paul Craig Roberts

Excerpt:

"...Americans need desperately to understand that 95 percent of all Muslim terrorists in the world were created in the past three years by Bush's invasion of Iraq.

Americans need desperately to comprehend that if Bush attacks Iran and Syria, as he intends, terrorism will explode, and American civil liberties will disappear into a thirty year war that will bankrupt the United States.

The total lack of rationality and competence in the White House and the inability of half of the US population to acquire and understand information are far larger threats to Americans than terrorism.

America has become a rogue nation, flying blind, guided only by ignorance and hubris. A terrible catastrophe awaits."
