Pelosi did not object to waterboarding in 2002

"Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill," the Post added. "But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said."

We risk blowing the world apart, to avoid watching America slowly choke on its own excesses. - The government has known for decades that America is on a countdown to self-destruction. Among the elite it is common knowledge that our "global economy" must one day collapse from its own dead weight.

"Every 10 minutes an Iraqi civilian is injured or killed in a war that George Bush says will not end until he leaves office. Every 10 hours an American soldier is killed in a war that George Bush says will not end until he leaves office. Every 10 days $2 billion is removed from the U.S. Treasury and placed in the accounts of Halliburton, Blackwater and all other war profiteers that are getting rich off the misery of Iraqis and Americans"

Zum heutigen weltweiten Klima-Aktionstag werden sicherlich viele Menschen um 20 Uhr für fünf Minuten das Licht ausschalten wie es Greenpeace und andere Umweltverbände vorschlagen. Die Aktion ist sicher gut gemeint. Aber sie allein bringt nur wenig. Symbolik reicht nicht für effektiven Klimaschutz.

Was jede und jeder tun kann!

Wenn viele Bundesbürger mitmachen, kann die Bundesregierung ihr Klimaschutzziel erreichen und bis zum Jahr 2020 –gemessen an 1990 – 40% Treibhausgase einsparen. Sich daran zu beteiligen, macht Lust auf Zukunft. Unsere Enkel werden uns einmal fragen, warum wir so wenig getan haben, obwohl wir doch soviel wussten.

Wer soll diesem Präsidenten noch vertrauen? Zuerst hat George W. Bush die ganze Welt belogen, um im Irak seinen Krieg um Öl führen zu können. Heute wissen alle, dass kein einziger US-Soldat im Irak wäre, wenn dort nur Bananen wachsen würden. Doch der Krieg um Öl hat bisher mehr als 200.000 Menschen das Leben gekostet.
