Libya: One Billion, Iraq: Trillion Plus
Barack Obama spent a billion dollars to topple a dictator in Libya. Compare that to the Bush figure of trillion plus to topple Saddam Hussein.

A Multi Party System For America
Image via WikipediaTwo party is still multi party. Two is not one. Two is more than one. But a two party system is not a true multi-party system.
Yesterday I drew an end game scenario for the Occupy Wall Street movement: Occupy Wall Street: My Idea Of Obama 2012.
A more ambitious scenario would be where the movement emerges as a third party in American politics. Step one still would be about turning America into a one person, one vote democracy. But then a departure would take place.
2012 would be too early for the movement to seek a presidency of its own, but 2016 might be a ripe time.
This could happen fast.
A three party system would bring greater political innovation.
Occupy
Sales Tax, Wealth Equity Tax
The Conversation Is The Revolution
