A twist of the tale..... "What if?" What if Iraq had decided that
the U.S. was a threat to them... and decided to preemptively invade and render the country under an occupation. What if Canada had WMDs and the American leader thought he still had some in his clutch to ward off any move by the Canadians....

What if the Iraqis decided to take down the republican led government and install a democratic led one. Just how far would the repigs go to try and restore their former glory, control of the military, control of American coal, industry and the economy? What would they do if a foreign power indiscriminately invaded and told them GW needs to go, the republican led congress needs to go... and from now on these people here who are friendly to the Iraqi regime will now be running the show... my my my if the shoe were on the other foot what a hot time in the old town we would be having right here in the good old U.S.A. I wonder how the repigs would like being imprisoned without charge, being tortured, having their relatives gunned down by mistake, and having their economy turned upside down.... perhaps someone should make a film.... yes, definitely someone should do this.... turn it around.... let the repigs be called terrorists by foreign nations hell bent on installing a puppet regime that will sell their country down the road for a buck.

Actually, we are there sort of, only thing is it's the repigs who are doing the selling.

1. This Is One Heck Of An Old What If, With All Due Respect.
It has been asked in hundreds of forms by hundreds of people already.

I just don't think it's about what if. I think it's about what now?

2. Just keep speaking truth to power, words have effect, seen or
unseen, they seep into nooks and crannies, affecting people who read them, they radiate outward, they do not return empty. I'm glad it has been asked in hundreds of forms since the result here, would be the same as it is over there.

4. And What People Want From The Dems Now Is What We Are Going To Do About It
Those whose nooks and crannies we want messages seeping into want to here about a plan for tomorrow and beyond, not rhetorical what if's to complain about yesterday. We are too close to the election now and it is about showing our plan for the future, for our future, for the country's future. We should be focusing on strategy and unity. We should make sure it seeps into their nooks and crannies that we are ready to take the helm and steer this country on a course of positive change, and that we have the strategy, plan and know how to do so. We need to keep repeating our agenda over and over.

But what if's of yesterday? Generally not gonna win us any votes at this point.
