Misguided Patriotism?

Again I will ask any who read this blog, to visit the sites listed in my last post and send them to everyone you know. That's how important I think they are!
I have to ask myself if our leaders are misguided patriots, deluded, crazy, anti-social, paranoid or something else, maybe all of the above!
We have four people in power, Dubya, Cheney, Rummy and Condy, who I will call the "four horsemen of the apocalypse", directing a very dangerous orchestra in the world today. Dubya has given way too much power to Cheney, probably because he is pompous enough to believe he is delegating authority.
The "four horsemen" have brought shame to this country, and we are this country, so shame to us. The have lied not only to us, but the world. They have tried and at least partially succeeded in taking away our rights and all but destroying the constitution. And they aren't done yet. What don't we know?
The "four horsemen" want to play the "military option" first, in Iran and North Korea, not negotiations. Only after pressure from other world leaders did these four agree to talks with Iran. We have yet to see what outcome will happen with Korea. It seems the "four horsemen" don't get the picture, all that happens in the world is called a "global problem", especially when the threat of nuclear confrontation takes place. Are our leaders, including congress and the senate really that stupid? Our politics are the same as the sectarianism in Iraq, but we call it democrats and republicans. It's all about the political gain! And the price seems to be our constitution, and our leaders political "gain". Shame on our leaders, and shame on us for letting this take place!
