I don't think this plan required extreme intelligence. It just requires a group for which winning is more important than preserving the institutions of democracy. There is nothing more clever here than is often inflicted upon our enemies in wartime. The difference here is that these tactics are inflicted upon the American people. TP

TP, I've noticed how people often attribute extreme intelligence to their opponents, or their designated nemesis, or whomever they regard as "evil." That includes Osama, Saddam (before the first Gulf War), Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Karl Rove, etc For those of us who don't agree with Rove/Bush and their policies, it does feel like something has gone very awry. Bush has gone down a road very different from the one that is traditional. Its extremely controversial, carried out behind their expressed concerns and fears that have proven to be entirely false, and has been poorly implemented. Under those circumstances, I don't think its unusual for people to attach a kind of evil to Bush's actions.
