He says he wants to build up US military power; and he threatens to ignite a new war in Pakistan, killing yet more brown-skinned people… Two years ago, this anti-war vote installed a Democratic majority in Congress, only to watch the Democrats hand over more money to George W Bush to continue his blood-fest.
