Thanks Dave, I forgot to answer that. I will add that the war criminal and his cronies used the opportunity to redefine patriotism to fit within the right-wing mold, questioning the patriotism of anyone who might disagree with his motives or methods; to move toward a police state with the miserably named "Patriot Act;" to have free reign to act in whatever circumstance that he was able to label as national security (including torture); to not only pander to the Industrial Military Complex, but the further integrate it into the government. His administration would relish in punishing those who questioned it - going to far as to threaten a person working on behalf of US security by disclosing her undercover activities, because her husband had accurately disputed the fictions that he advanced in support of the Iraq war.
Regards,
