per se... it was and still is that they hate us for this kind of shit. This was just the largest of our endeavors that took place on our national stage. We've been manipulating the governments of many a smaller nation for a looong time.
I knew this would happen the day the SCOTUS decided that W was gonna be our emperor. Remember what he said within two months of taking over in DC, "
heh) This would be so much easier if they just went and made me emperor." Never forget that. It was all preplanned, stealing the elections, the war, the PATRIOT Act... all of it before the election cycle even started for 2000.
Illusion indeed. It was also voter complacency that helped most of all. When Clinton was elected, only 52% of eligible voters actually did vote. It wasn't much better in 2000. I was nearing the end of my MPA program in college when W was "decided" on and I knew we would be at war in at least one country in the middle East by the end of the first year, I just didn't know how they would go about making it happen. Exactly one month after I graduated, 9/11 happened and I knew that we were in for recessions, depressions and long-term, ongoing wars. I made that prediction to the whole PoliSci Dept. and they all looked at me warily and suspiciously but every prof that was there when I said it came back and agreed that I was right on by the end of 2003.
Obama wasn't supposed to win, according to the neocons, and so they are willing to destroy our world to punish us for his two term presidency. We've got a long, hard row to hoe for the foreseeable future. I don't see anything that might indicate political change for the better during the rest of my lifetime, just hope I don't have many decades left.
