Dean; A fresh but short-lived breath in American politics
A few days ago, I wrote my thoughts about "Rise and Fall of Howard Dean" but never posted it. Here it is:
Howard Dean the leader of the democratic wing of "Democratic Party" could not be tolerated. He could have been a fresh and healthy breath to the corrupt US politics. He had so many enemies, and perhaps the most determined ones were pro-Israeli lobby groups in the US and the corporate America. The winners of this whole affair are the corporate America and the Israeli lobby groups. The hatred of Senator Lieberman, who is an American by birth but Israeli at heart, towards Howard Dean was obvious. How could Dean dare to break the traditions? How could he dare to say that US should be fair and not to take side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? How could he not accept corporate money for his campaign. How could he rely on young and healthy Americans instead of the corrupt and greedy corporations?
In this article titled The Assassination of Howard Dean, the author looks into this sad end of this newly born life. Here is an excerpt:
"The party took notice when Dean got up on stage and announced, "I'm Howard Dean, and I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party!"
Another part of the Dean story, and threat to the party establishment, was his style and appeal. Howard Dean has often been labeled the "prophet of rage." It's certainly true that he was an angry man; angry at Bush, the war, the budget deficit, the mushrooming unemployment cloud, at all things that had gone badly wrong in three short years. This anger hit a chord with the popular imagination; dissatisfaction with Bush was high and Dean was the perfect protest candidate.
Another core part of Dean's appeal was his overwhelming support among young people."
Perhaps America is not yet ready for a positive change, not ready to throw out the tradition of "corporate rulings"; and the tradition of being over influenced on its foreign policies by lobby groups.
