Not exactly, Plunk.

US imperialism, yes.

It starts with cleaning up the mess we made in the middle east after WW II. First step: Admitting that its even our problem. Until we in the 'republic' take responsibility we will be fighting the war on terror.

Fighting the war on terror should be our primary focus as a nation. It has not been, we've been too busy in Iraq. Should any president that makes a mistake that big, one that threatens our national security so egregiously, be given an opportunity to screw it up again? Even worse perhaps? Were another terrorist attack to occur on US soil in a second Bush term, would he try to blame Clinton?

...and is the thought of Kerry for four years THAT overwhelmingly bad in comparison to what we've seen out of Dumbya?

Should the ranks of Al Qaeda treble before you rate his presidency an abject failure?

Fall of the republic? Heck no, aim low. Start with the presidency and work to change certain aspects of US culture slowly over time.

I'm so radical.
