Your country is gone Nebe, and its not coming back regardless of which individual or party has control of the Whitehouse. The bottom line is that 9/11 happened....period. Now America wants to be safe. The reason GW won re-election is because the majority of this country believed they would be safer under his control than under the control of John Kerry. That was the last election boiled down in its simplist form.You know it doesn't matter what political party or ideology you believe in. If the majority of the country are calling for blood (based on information rooted in truth or fiction) the president is going to find blood. You get punched in the mouth, you punch back. Every president does it. The teeth of the Patriot Act will continue to get sharper and isolationism as the only alternative will slowly pervade our society. This all sounds pretty bleak, but I do believe things can improve. There is no doubt in my mind that the first step to getting this country back on track is to end the rabid partisanship on both sides of the aisle. Absolutely nothing of substance will get done without compromise and co-operation. Both parties are equally responsible. I actually thought GW said something intelligent the other night, which could apply to both parties when assailing the others leaders...."Hindsight is not wisdom, and defeatism and negativity are not strategies." (paraph.)
