http://www.gravel2008.usUS has nothing to fear; fear sustains the military industrial complex
“If you look a little deeper at & the human psyche, there’s only two divisions. There’s love and fear. Love implements a whole beneficial area of our psyche. But fear is what we’ve been living under for the last 50 years in order to sustain the military complex–stop and think; we’re afraid of everything in the US . There’s nothing to fear. There’s nothing at all. And as president, I will call upon the courage in the people to step forward and express themselves with what counts, and that’s love.”
Threatening nukes is immoral foreign policy
“When you have mainline candidates that say that there’s nothing off the table with respect to Iran, that’s code for using nuclear devices. I got to tell you, when I’m president of the United States, there will be no preemptive wars with nukes–nuclear devices. To my mind, it’s immoral, and it’s been immoral for the last 50 years as part of American foreign policy.”
Fighting terrorism with a war doesn’t work
“We are mischaracterizing terrorism. Terrorism has been with civilization from the beginning. And it will be there to the end. We’re going to be as successful fighting terrorism as we are fighting drugs with a war. It doesn’t work. What you have to do is to begin to change the whole foreign policy. This invasion brought about more terrorists. Osama bin Laden must have been rolling in his blankets how happy he was over our invading Iraq.”

Dandi,
I don’t care who takes the White House, as long as it is not a Front Running Dem., or Rep. party candidate.
Go Nader, Go Gravel, Go Paul, whom ever, just wreck this buddy-buddy, greeze my palm system in D.C..
Ya, H.R. 1955, or 1959 these are treasonist acts, like the act that brought in the Federal Reserve, the Aldrich Act.
Evict all these incumbent in ’08
a Third Party, then investigate.
