The real issue is whether there are two parties in this country, or do we have a single party -- The Capitalist Party -- The Republicans and Democrats being merely two wings of the same party -- The Capitalist Party. And as Nazi Germany, the Shah’s Rastaakhiz party, and the rest of history has taught us, a single party country tends to become a fascist country.

As a worker-bee for a major corporation in the US, I feel the pressure to contribute to my corporation's Political Action Committee (PAC) - easily deducted from my paycheck!. The major corporations in the US do not give a damn about McCain nor Obama. They put their money (the PAC contribution) where they can get the biggest bang for their buck -- as long as it serves their interest. A US corporation has no feelings. To them, a Democrat vs. a Republican is the same whore.

I repeat -- the major US corporations do not care whether the Democrats win, or the Republicans win. They do not give a damn if Ayatollah Khamanei is a mere stooge of the US/UK, looking for a safe heaven in Algeria or the French Riviera. The major US corporations could not give a shit about potential uprising of the Iranian people against the Ayatollah's Arabic regime, nor the first declaration of Human Rights -- 2,500 years ago -- by the Persian Cyrus the Great. Who gives a damn in the US whether Cyrus was Persian -- or he was an Arab nomad singing the Azaan from some mosque’s minaret, while bending 5 times a day.

The name of the game is to make money. Whether it is the unregulated hedge funds leading to the current US financial mess, or the corrupt Ayatollahs/Mullahs and the likes of Rafsanjani in Iran, pocketing the Euro-petro-dollars, while making a deal with US/UK for a safe heaven upon the uprising of the Iranian youth.

There is too much emphasis in this blog about the Israeli/Palestine issue. Those people constitute a mere 50 million inhabitants on this planet. Meanwhile -- over hundreds of millions of us are being fucked and going bankrupt by the policies of the same ass-hole who are supposedly "democratically-elected" to look out for our interest. Well -- if they don't give a damn about their own countrymen's well being, do you really think they'd give a shit about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

Many people in this forum take the Israeli/Palestinian issue too seriously within the context of 6 billion people living/suffering on this planet. The plight of Israel/Palestine, while looking dire, is nothing (NOTHING) compared to the plight of African poverty and famine. I suppose too many people are busy reading the Bible, Qoran or Torah -- to bother about reading the "God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

May God (that I do not believe in) bless them all.
