like bush, england's john major was a problem for the electorate but he finessed a contest to win a second term even tho people had serious misgivings about his character and leadership. it was a short-lived victory for major and his party however and it just about destroyed the tories. the same may happen to bush and the republicans. when the support you need to put you over the top comes from a proud collection of rabidly anti-science, dysfunctional religious fundamentalists you get what you pay for.
not during any of england's darkest political hours would the people of the us have simply ignored her if attacked however. i think the same holds true for america. if we got hit, which seems increasingly likely if you believe the homeland security department isn’t foisting paranoia on its citizens but is on the level with its endless security alerts, many people throughout the world would reach out to assist us, separating and rightly so the actions of a president they consider a war criminal and the millions of citizens who tried unsuccessfully to unseat him.
