>I couldn't care less about Joe-Six-Pack< I am talking about most Americans, including white & blue collar. >US mass media are bamboozling public opinion as never before< Wrong! The U.S. is all together on this one. Get used to it. This is just like the Pearl Harbor reaction. >Of course, the whole scenario could be nipped in the bud if President G.W. Bush is ASSASSINATED in the coming months... Think about it: currently, Prez Bush is in the same situation as Prez J.F. Kennedy was in 1964...< Assuming your horrendous scenario is correct, then think about this...Cheney is in charge. Do you know his history...start reading up buddy boy. >JFK wanted to scrap the CIA after the Bay of Pigs fiasco; likewise, GW Bush will have to overhaul the CIA after the '98 embassies bombings and 911 fiascos.< Incorrect assumption. Bush is pumping huge sums of money in to bolster the CIA, as well as expand its capabilities. His old man was in charge of the CIA. >JFK planned to withdraw from Vietnam and favored a political settlement with North Vietnam; likewise, GW Bush doesn't plan to carpet-bomb Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Iran, Lybia, etc although hawkish Jews within his administration have openly called for it (Wolfowitz & Co).< Why do you so like to point out Jews Gus? There are many non-Jews in the administration as well as all throughout America that wouldn't mind seeing that happen. It may come to that. Don't shed too many tears over your terrorist friends. They have lots of caves to sleep in. >JFK opposed Israel's nuclear program and demanded that it discarded the French-sponsored Dimona plant --Israel's then-PM Ben Gourion met with JFK in NY on that issue... Likewise, GW Bush's displeasure with Ariel Sharon is growing by the day...< So what is your point here? After JFK, Israel has nukes and a still tighter friendship with America. Friendly nations will always have disagreements. This situation changes nothing. >Finally, isn't it troubling to notice that both the Kennedys and the Bush's are two political dynasties with only one difference: tragedy has only struck the former, so far...< I'd say there are lots of differences, the only common denominator is wealth and family politics. And if something should befall Bush...there's Cheney. After all, Bush is probably getting most his operational theories from Cheney anyhow. He relies on his experience. Hal
