The People do not know about it
"Bush policies become increasingly normalized, increasingly the symbol not only of Bush-ism, but America"
Therein lies the rub. Unless these policies & practices are thoroughly repudiated by current candidates & the next administration the unprecedented deterioration of American international standing will continue to plummet at a rate beyond even the vaguest comprehension of its' citizenry.-- DanJoaquinOz
Therein lies the rub. What CarolynC said is correct -- most reasonably aware voting Americans don't know about what is and has been done in the name of the United States of America. A fair number who do hear of any of this are convinced by their beloved radio talkshow hosts that these things either didn't really happen, were isolated, unrepresentative incidents, or needed to happen for us to be "safe".
It is even less 'seen' than Jim Crow was in the early 20th century -- we have no water fountains in public squares labelled "colored" to remind us.
