Balance of power....I was just reading that the US military spending nearly exceeds that of the next nine nations.
And for the record, the Democrats didn't lose, and Bush wasn't elected, he was selected by a Supreme Court appointed mostly under Reagan and Bush:
50,996,116 Gore
50,456,169 Bush
And those numbers would have been a lot more in Gore's favor if more blacks were allowed to vote in Florida instead of being disenfranched en masse (interestingly enough the executive VP of the firm that supplied that list died in a plane crash April 2002).
2.5 million jobs lost, the unemployment rate is at 6.4%, stock market has gone from around 11000 down to 8000 (27%!)...this and the seeming rush to spread our military thinly to every corner of the globe. It's a house of cards.
