1) much less likely now. ("Iran has no nuke program, U.S. intel says"; publ. Dec 4)

Bush/Cheney are planning another "elective" war, on Iran, around April 2008. You can do your part: keep shopping.
This Scott Ritter interview is very, very good. Read it.
Ritter points out who's ultimately responsible:
[V]ery few Americans actually function as citizens anymore. What I mean by that are people who invest themselves in this country, people who care, who give a damn. Americans are primarily consumers today, and so long as they continue to wrap themselves in the cocoon of comfort, and the system keeps them walking down a road to the perceived path of prosperity, they don't want to rock the boat. If it doesn't have a direct impact on their day-to-day existence, they simply don't care.
There's a minority of people who do, but the majority of Americans don't. And if the people don't care — and remember, the people are the constituents — if the constituents don't care, then those they elect to higher office won't feel the pressure to change.
And we will get war.There's a minority of people who do, but the majority of Americans don't. And if the people don't care — and remember, the people are the constituents — if the constituents don't care, then those they elect to higher office won't feel the pressure to change.
Here's a man who speaks of World War III and the apocalypse and he has his hand on the button and he talks to God. I don't know, if it's a show, its a dangerous show, if its real, we should all be scared to death.
Margaret Atwood's When you open the door of war... from March 2003.
When a door swings open, you never know what will come through it. ...[T]he fortunes of war, being notoriously unpredictable, are ruled by the Goddess of Chance.
A. Hitler: (via)To initiate a war is always like opening a large door into a dark room. You have no idea what is lurking there.

Site Meter shows very little coming through www.NCvoice.us to farstars.blogspot.com, so that might have to do with few comments, if you are experiencing similar loads. I haven't begun publicizing, need rainy days.
Just watched Mike Huckabee on George Stephanopolis and am much concerned. He's George Bush with an IQ and Bill Clinton's abilities to argue, couple in with a complete willingness to spin like a top notch pool hustler. He speaks three times as fast and makes excellent sense. Can he be a non judgemental Christian? We may be forced to see, if we don't support the campaigns in borderline states via donations to the dem of our choice, or pre-emptively, to Guilliani or Romney. On the other hand, maybe Huckabee's the Dem's be hope for the Repub to blow the election.
Hi Ski -
Your paucity of drop-ins might have stemmed from how NCVoices formatted the 'teaser blurb' for each of your posts - I've tweaked it so it's more informative, we'll see if that helps.
Can't comment on Huckabee et al, I have to confess I'm not paying attention yet.
