John Yoo - Delusional Or Dumb

Another merchant of death from the Bush neocon cabal explains the thinking of the Bush administration. Can you believe this comment from an article speaking of the need to increase Presidential power? John Yoo says this in reference to the old Soviet Union? The changes of the 1970'’s occurred largely because we had no serious national security threats to United States soil... Good god!! And to think this man is teaching students at UC Berkley School of Law. By the looks of it this guy obviously never picked up a history book or lived through the cold war. As a man in his sixties, I can assure you all - the threat to National Security was a hell of a lot more real than the current scare crusade being conducted by that bunch on Pennsylvania Avenue. Sure there is a definite threat of terrorism, but think about it....terrorism has been around a long, long time. Israel, Great Britain immediately come to mind, but also many other countries. Even here in Canada we had the terrorist bombings and kidnappings conducted by The FLQ. But right now they pale in comparison to the very real threat that if the U.S., it's allies, and the Soviet Union decided to get into a pissing match, it would mean the end of the world. And to think we were naive enough back then to believe our teachers when they said if the air raid sirens go off "duck and cover" which meant get under your desk and cover your head with your arms. LOL - I kid you not, there were even television PSA's telling us that on every network. Even at 39 years old he can't possibly be that stupid. Well my friends he's not, he is another of the madmen and women who occupy a lofty perch in society gained by birth or on the backs of others. Strange isn't it? He and others of his ilk are always members of either The American Enterprise Institute or the Federalist Society. In his case it is both. Click through on the links to see a list of members. You can read his entire diatribe at - where else but The NY Times.
