This is a democracy. The problem is us. All of us. Mainly our willingness to be divided so readily by rhetoric so that we act against our own interests.
This national security nightmare was created by our own fear. The Bush people just took advantage of it. And now that it's out of control, notice how anxious some of us are to give power back to the same people who got us into this mess.
And this happens on issue-after-issue. Eventually people wake up, and not all leaders are venal. I don't think the current Administration is. But we're in a deep hole,and too many Americans think the solution is a shovel because some rich guys told them so.
