The Way Forward

His way forward: 3,000 dead Americans. Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis.

Our way forward:
Preserving democracy by holding our leaders accountable for their disasters.
Making elections fair by giving every voter a paper ballot.
Securing our country by establishing a living wage and national health care.
Working for peace, not oil, with our friends by engaging our opponents in dialogue.
Caring for our planet by using energy responsibly and protecting the environment we share.

WEEKEND UPDATE:

Baghdad is burning,
A nation sinks beneath flames of violence;
The camera is on the Charlatan,
Who proclaims tropes that make no sense.

Where is the good shepard with a plan?
An ancient land in bloody turmoil awaits its fate,
But the camera is on the Charlatan,
Who only knows the pretense.
