American depression
Mr. Englehardt's article gives hope. But will Americans actually throw these rascals out in the 2006 elections? It is going to take a change in Congress for us to see the Bush agenda turned back. Republicans are stalwart on keeping tax cuts. They'll cut out any and every program before they'll give up those cuts and heaven forbid that any pork is shaved off!
What is just now dawning on the American people has been apparent to all who opposed the war from the very beginning...changing political ideas in the Middle East is extremely long term and will be met with the utmost resistance. Bush in all his arrogance thought he could waltz in there and do whatever. What scares Americans is the billions of dollars the war is costing and will continue to cost, and when one adds the billions that Katrina will require to rebuild, only the most fanciful can sit at ease in the maelstrom.
