- The Sorrows of Young Dumus, Art. XLI:
The complacent enjoyment of power can never be the final destination of a totalitarian regime. The totalitarian leader had made dramatic promises: to unify and purify his community; to save it from the flabbiness and confusion of democratic politics and the contamination of alien peoples and cultures; to rescue the community from decadence and decline.
In order to fulfill these promises, totalitarian regimes must present the impression of driving momentum and cannot survive without a headlong, intoxicating rush forward. Without a mounting spiral of ever more daring challenges, totalitarian regimes devolve into decaying authoritarianisms. With it, they drive inexorably toward a final paroxysm of self-destruction.
Thus it was that when the populace contemplated each disaster of misrule, Dumus would distract them with some fresh and ever more hideous outrage. The grinding failure of the occupation of Mesopotamia led inevitably to the Persian war and abrogation of the Constitution (A.J. 6722, 14 Gorpiaios); thence to the annihilation of Khourosan (A.J. 6723, Dystros); then to the massacre of Sind (A.J. 6723, Dios) and the attack upon Irkutsk (A.J. 6725, 25 Apellaios); until, finally, the titanic struggle of Gaugamela (A.J. 6728, 16-23 Artemisios) terminated, almost at one blow, the usurpations of Dumus and the tragic career of the Hegemon. - Reply to this comment

- Not just Iran, but you guys are going to make it a trend. A fashion statement! To make nukes. You guys, and your diplomatic genius of failure, is going to turn this whole planet into nuclear powered scooters!
You can not stop nuclear energy. Nuclear weapons. BEING THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM THEM MOST! France? Maybe. Spain? Maybe. But USofNukeEverybodyA? Noway. - Reply to this comment
- What a piece of work Lieberman is. First, he empowers bush to continue his Iraq follies, "that's all right claim his supporters, he's a friend of labor and true Democrat",then he votes for the immigration bill. Now, with a loss in Iraq becoming a forgone conclusion, he wants to start a war with Iran. How dumb are the people of Connecticut?

- There is no reason why Shia shouldn't be able to democratically control Iraq. Just as much as Sunni, or anybody else.

- Let's see now,,,
, Most of our casualties are caused by Arab & Iraqi Sunni's, 9/11 & many other terrorist attacks are by Sunni Arabs.. UAE is funding, training & supplying insurgents in Iraq & Afaganistan.. Ossama Bin Laden is a Sunni.

- "If there's any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can't just talk to them."
Yes you can. If you don't mind my saying, I think you got it backwards. "You can't just go bombing people." Thats the fuel for this fire! Who do you think you are? I watched the republican debates. Where the first question was: "What would you do about Iraq having nuclear weapons?" And the second one was: "Would you use tactical nukes?" You don't see that this double standard justification system we got is broke?
There's no way. NO WAY! You're going to stop countries from having nukes. You either face your fear or die by it. - Reply to this comment
