The perfect opportunity for a conservative Republican to step into the leadership void.
But not like George Bush. He never did a thing to nuclear bomb acquiring Iran and North Korea. And he kissed the ass of every evil Muslim dictatorship he could find, such as Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. And he praised evil Islam to the sky: a great ideology, and religion of peace, which was sadly hijacked, etc.
A perfect opportunity for a ferocious classical liberal! :-)
