Re: How long can a presidency based on bellicosity last?

Relax, Ben Dover. This could take a while.

Hitler last 13 years. Napoleon about the same. Frederick the Great had his Seven Year War. German unification took 23 years of strife. Ghenghis Khan campaigned for over two decades. Alexander the Great about one decade. Remember the
Thirty Year War?

The Americaspian Empire won't be born overnight. It will take decades.

Recall, Gore Vidal calls it "Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace". I don't think he's exaggerating.

Re: How long until the American people realize that not everything can be blamed on terrorism?

You can terrorize some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time.
