I don't think the administration wants the "end of the world", except in the sense of extending all-powerful central government control, by fewer and fewer people at the top.
Altho' Cheney and Rumsfeld comments this week might be taken to signal the end of the world as we know it, in a manner of speaking:
"This war may last our lifetime"
"We will no doubt have nuclear terrorism in the US
"That's a world I can live in. I can live with that"
Essentially, they've rolled over and surrendered to the world that the terrorists have decreed, which is the end of the US way of life.
They ask no contribution by American civilians, except to assume the role of targets, and create plans for more militarization of the planet as the way to provide more security, as if the suicidal terrorists will be suppressed more by overseas bombing of various multiple countries, than by an effective homeland defense.
Meanwhile, they kiss the robes of Arab oil producers who finance terrorism, and oh by the way, do business with Bush Inc....
If and when that's clear, and made public, that may be the end of Bush Inc's world, however. |
