"Don't Let It Be Iran Next Year..."

There are many satisfactions that come with having a radio show on an Air America affiliate. The one most gratifying for me is a listener sharing a request for his or her voice to be heard by way of a comment. Because I believe that listener feels he or she has reached out to the last beacon of liberal freedom in what, not less then a decade ago, was among the greatest liberal democracies in the world, it behooves me to take that voice and lift it up as high as I humanly can, as long as I can, in all of our names and for all of our sakes.

At this link you can find the rest of the entreaty from which I have clipped just a bit below. It is an entreaty from just one listener of Action Point but she represents thousands who would ask you on this November 7 to take your best patriotic freedom--the right to choose your representative government by ballot--and choose wisely:
If you voted to be “strong on terror” think of the lives you yourself have terrorized over the last two years, including innocent civilians in bombed and war-torn countries and all the innocent detainees who’ve been tortured as if a sadist from the Middle Ages were ruling the U.S. instead of someone who pledged on the Bible to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law. Worldwide terrorist attacks have increased, not decreased because of our actions. (http://www.brookings.edu/fp/saban/iraq/index20060831.pdf).
