    and?

    I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. If the neo cons get re-elected you can expect this to becomes business as usual. Yes, it sounds crazy that they would be planning to 'liquidate' or suppress all political opposition to their far right agenda but they are. It's what Hitler did and look how well it worked for him. I'm joking. Like all ideologues they simply cannot tolerate anyone who differs from their rigid and extreme beliefs. They're still fighing the wars of the seventies with the anti-Vietnam protestors. They know they lost the war in two places, at home and in Vietnam and they're still mad as hell about it. And they're also simply mad. They would like to round all these 'troublemakers' up and draft them into the army. Can you imagine how angry they are that they can't draft anyone into the army? War is the meaning of life to them and they intend to fight on both fronts.
