I don't understand people who can't get a hint. If I were the Democratic Party I wouldn't be calvalierly dismissing President Bush out of hand and talking grandly of how they will "not let" his plans succeed. That's how they've been treating him since Florida declared in 2000. What has happened to them? They lost the Senate and the House has only grown more Republican. Governorships are still mostly in the hands of the Republican Party and President Bush was recently re-elected with a 51% majority of the largest voter turnout in history. If they keep going on about this, the Democratic Party will cease to exist as a major opposition party by the time Hillary gets ready to run in 2008 and she'll have to form the HillaryCare Party in order to run, made up mostly of rejects from the old Communist Party. With Howard Dean as party chairman, anything is possible. John Adams ascribed the Federalist defeat in 1800 to vastly overrating their own influence and popularity. The Democratic Party may be headed for the same fate because the Democratic Party has made the same mistake.
And what is with the international community? Iran has shown their idiocy by grandly declaring that they will "retaliate" against any attack by the US or Israel to enforce the non-proliferation laws. It's like Homer Simpson..."Duh. Let's see here. Last time someone took this line the US and Britain wiped them out. Uh, last two people actually. Uh...no, every person who's ever taken this line. Uh...." (Thinking hard). "I know! Let's take the old Saddam line!" The fact that even France is on the bandwagon for this one should tell them something. When the French are ready to enforce UN decrees, the US is probably already enforcing them. The French have this habit of catching the fever after everyone else. Iran is pursuing its own way willy-nilly? Should the US invade? I don't know. But at thet very least, Iran is only displaying its own stupidity by taking a hard line. Why it is that the only American President in a quarter of a century to enforce his will should be the one everyone thinks they can run circles around is beyond me. But the Iranian mullah will soon find themselves seated next to the New Left if they think they can snub Bush and his plans.
