I think we will see a slight improvement, as your average citizens and many state officials in other countries know what the Bush junta is up to.It's becoming predictable, the sequence of events and presidents.
Eisenhower - Military man who warns aginst the powers that will kill the next president.
Kennedy - Goes against CIA and talks of stopping Vietnam. rest is history
Johnson - Falsifies data from Gulf of Tonkin to accelerate conflict in Vietnam, to the joy of oilmen and defense contractors.
Nixon - Further steps up war. Initiates War on Drugs. Watergate
Gerald Ford - Pardons Nixon
Ronald Reagen - Iran Contra affair, Grenada
George Bush 1 - Panama, Iraq...Both based on false testimonies.
Clinton - Waco, Ruby Ridge, WTC93, step up surveillance
George Bush - Too much to list
There's a pattern happening. Friendly Fascists (Reagen, Clinton), followed by snarling Fascists (Bush 1, Bush 2).
By FLKook's account, we should be seeing a Friendly One next. Hopefully, people will awaken just a tad. I suppose I am 60% an optomist, 40% pessimist, so let's pray, keep our fingers crossed, dance naked around a fire, or keep talking, to improve the situation.
