The 50s called, they want their cold war back. But hey, with some luck, you can start up that crap all over again. Because those terrorist dudes aren't really working out as an enemy you can keep people scared over (ill-funded, ill-disciplined, and of course, the fact that yesterday's "Reagan's freedom fighters" are today's "Bush's terrorists" is going to get noticed by people).
On a side note: the long-term effects of preferring the defense budget over, say, public education for a couple of generations are going to hurt. A lot. But hey, keep 'em stupid and keep 'em scared and you can do what you want, and never run out of cannon fodder as a bonus, right?
Did anyone else have a hearty laugh when they saw Bush (mr. God told me to go to war) condemn Russia for invading a foreign country?
