ISIS was created under circumstances that were entirely created by your brother, in <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/11/-sp-isis-the-inside-story" rel="nofollow">Camp Bucca in 2004</a>.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-67750625946497094542015-05-23T01:35:51.638-05:002015-05-23T01:35:51.638-05:00As a life long social democrat who recently awoke ...As a life long social democrat who recently awoke from a medically induced coma, it has sadly come to my attention that the people who today call themselves social democrats are by and large an angry gang of sullen losers. Not Bernie Sanders, he's great, but the people running around shouting that Bernie is going to win the primary and win the general and do this and do that and give all the little leftists a sundae with a cherry on top.<br /><br />Forty years ago it wasn't like this. We were the happy warriors. Guided by visionaries like my beloved Michael Harrington, we had the solutions and we were going to fix the world - not save it.<br /><br />I find myself driven into this line of thought by your examination of Bloody Bill Kristol, who spent the last forty years breaking things and getting people killed - talents for which he was richly rewarded. So my question, rhetorical and as much for myself as for anyone, is WHY CAN'T WE GET ANYTHING DONE AROUND HERE? Four decades of good people and bright ideas and sincerity by the tank car, but all we ever do is lose and find ourselves dragged to the right.<br /><br />It's not just the perfidy of the Democrats, because this process has worked all over the world: Danny the Red was big in Paris 1968, lately not so much. What are the global factors, what are the purely local factors, and how did we reverse them to our benefit? <br /><br />Those are my questions for the djinn, should I ever find the right bottle to rub.Mike Lumishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14083545582415707582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-28878034478491644352015-05-22T22:38:55.717-05:002015-05-22T22:38:55.717-05:00 Hey neocons: Tell that to all of the dead and mai...
