You know what I think? Bush should just go completely over the top. I mean every single thing we want, demand it. Ten things per day. Speeches everyday. Get these pompous, country club repubs in the House and Senate to get off there impotent asses and SELL SOMETHING.
TALK TO THE PEOPLE. Get behind the wheel and DRIVE the issues. Explain it to them. Damn the media. Overwhelm them. Damn the politics. Shout the naysayers down. Mobilize grass roots activism. Anyone else wonder why we, as citizens, have been asked to do virtually nothing to support this so-called war on terrorism? Damn 2004. Maybe there will not be any free elections in 2004 if we don't get the job done.
Yes. Why no call for sacrifice? (except in vague terms); public bioterrorism education?; evacuation plans?, or warnings that oil supplies may be interrupted? Americans may now live in the "new normal," but we're hardly prepared psychologically, for a major attack, and are less so as the days go on, and memory fades.
I'm wondering if the next step is to agree to a return of UN inspectors to Iraq -- God help us all.
