It appears the United States is on the way to becoming the next Iraq as it was under Saddam Hussein. The similarities are, unfortunately, many.
As in Iraq, our country is being ruled by a narcissistic, immoral, corrupt individual who surrounds himself with family and cronies and places them in positions of power. His support comes from members of a minority religious sect who are quite content to see abuses leveled onto the majority, as long as the tyrant panders to their wants. He professes to their religion but follows none of its tenets.
His political allies, although they privately might question his intent, say nothing and acquiesce to his demands to curry his favor and to avoid his wrath, and to enjoy the perks that come with their fealty to him.
The tyrant’s grip on power is tenuous, and he is willing to do anything to maintain it, even directing the military to attack his own citizens. As the pushback from the majority grows, so do his excesses.
Ultimately, the country might move toward widespread civil unrest. Welcome to Ameriraq.

Seattle Mayor says, about the anarchists takeover of her city, “it is a Summer of Love”. These Liberal Dems don’t have a clue. The terrorists burn and pillage our cities, and they think it is just wonderful, even the death. Must end this Seattle takeover now!

Re: “Crisis demands Congress check Trump’s leadership failure” [June 1, Opinion]:
As the editorial states, President Donald Trump has failed this country in so many ways, sowing dissension and distrust, promoting misinformation and lies, and showing no genuine concern for the needs and feelings of the people of our nation.
Congress has been complicit in these acts by failing to criticize or act as an equal branch of government. We need Congress to censure Trump’s irresponsible and outrageous behavior, and it must address the problems of inequality and racial prejudice that have been overlooked for too long.
