But it won't work on me.

I don't think any Republican, radical or not, was happy about 9/11. I think some of the new laws are over-reactions, but politics has always been a swinging pendulum.
I don't agree with everything Bush has done, but I do credit him for staying the course. Of course, now he doesn't have much leeway. The Democrats will choose nitpicks to 'take a stand,' hoping that Bush falters, and the Democrats will pick up the scraps and more power. If the Democrats and Gore were so golden, they would stand up and challenge Bush and Co. Instead, they just sit back, occasionally stabbing with a plastic fork, and resort to licking wounds when their plastic spork plan backfires.
I wonder how North Korea is reacting to the war in Iraq.
