It's equally as amazing to me that many American's are unable to grasp that the US is a single-ideological state comprising of two virtually identical political factions both of which vie for power to serve the interests of the rich. The wise correctly identify it as a plutocracy or similar. Only the stupid cling to the idea that the US system is democratic. I think Snakestretcher was alluding to the fact that the US is necessarily bi-partisan regarding matters such as the decision to go to war because unlike you he understands that the US is as I have characterized it as being.

I have known both parties are the same for along time. I also know that they play games with peoples minds saying they are different. Support or not supporting the Iraq war is one of those cases.

That's what ' democracy ' has become- an alliance of the super rich in order to homogenize dissent and genuine opposition.
