My letter in which I make a case and a call for action to end the Bush presidency asap, hit the paper today.

The response I received from Ryan which included this paragraph made me realize just how important the battle is.
"The fight against this utterly evil military-industrial-complex run administration (about which Eisenhower prophetically warned you), is the fight to save humanity and civilization itself, not just the American political system."
Ryan's full response below:
Dear Summer
I am not an American citizen, though my almost 5 years in NY, in which time I witnessed 9/11 certainly made me feel passionate enough about your country to fight for it with you.
Know that there are millions and millions of people in this world who yearn to see the old America come back. The America of Kennedy, of FDR, God, even Reagan would do at this point :)
The fight against this utterly evil military-industrial-complex run administration (about which Eisenhower prophetically warned you), is the fight to save humanity and civilization itself, not just the American political system. (emphasis added)
I do believe that the tide is turning, and now is the time that mass political organizing is required to create the necessary mood in the population to DEMAND that the politicians act. If they feel the sense that the people are angry enough to pitch them all out on their ears unless changes are made, and fast, then I think we can win.
I applaud your call to arms and stand with you in this battle.
