they are jsut words - and why do words seem to cause so much pain, hen the real pain can be seen in those images.  

America from the beginning was a place where the rights of the individual were protected from the awesome power of the state.  We have been led astray by the original Royalists..that is what Bush and the Republicans represent..they are the original Royalists..Clinton is an enabler of the Royalists..and for her service..she gets power, prestige, but above all..money..Royalists worship money..

The love of money is the root of all evil..the dollar has been the God of the power elite for so long..they now have power over the military with which they use as the Mafia uses its Soldati..to gain more power and more treasure..

So .. the question is .. is America damned..?  Can America regain its soul?  Can we get back to that ideal that says we are the country that others can turn to for genuine help..??

The pictures were very moving in this diary..tears fell from my eyes..they always do when I see pictures presented like this..soem are saying that the question is not helpful..but I think it is the way you have presented this diary that makes your diary thought provoking..
