Search For Truth by Wild Bill
The smiling president has had his time in presenting the truth as he sees it, and there have been no reports of the sky falling as expected by western doom sayers. One aggressive reporter's major evaluation of Ahmadinejad was his shoddy appearance, looking like he had selected his clothes at a recycled shop. What a shabby way for the president of a country as large as Iran to present himself to the world. Is this meant to be a significant observation. Maybe Iran should find a taller man to replace this unsavory looking, raggy bearded leader, with the disarming smile that must be hiding his real intent.
Let me take you back to one of the most remarkable displays of falsehood ever seen at the United Nations. Remember the presentation of Colin Powell, slides, charts, aluminum pipes, transport vehicles equipped to fabricate weapons of mass destruction. The lies went on and on. When it was demonstrated that he was presenting a Rumsfelt/Cheney scenario based on hypotheticals, the Bush administration was not forced to admit they were dealing in lies to justify their involvement in a war against a sovereign country, to ensure U.S. control of Arab oil.
You cannot find truth when searching among the scraps remaining after the most powerful nation in the world has its way, whenever and wherever it wishes. No exit plan. The chance of a changing administration in the next 18 months may give us a brief glance at truth. But I doubt it. I see war as being easy in, but almost impossible out.

Very astute observations, Bill. The problem is with the entire concept of leadership, I think. Voters want politicians, whether here in Canada, in Iran or on Jupiter, to lead us into prosperity and happiness and out of anything the least bit inconvenient. So leaders lead. They lead us down the garden path and then rape us and leave us huddled in a bleeding mess, wondering what the hell happened.
We simply got what we asked for. We wanted someone else to think for us and act for us. They did. We can avoid all this by thinking for ourselves and working to reduce the size of government so that no amount of posturing by ambitious politicians can get us into trouble.
