Is there an end to madness

It seems like Bush's policies will be even more aggressively militaristic in his second term. His gloating about earning “political capital” that he intends to “spend” (in other words, I’ll do whatever I want), complete control of congress and senate by republicans, naming Condoleezza Rice the champion of pre-emptive strike as his secretary of State ( who by the way is the former Chevron board member and had an oil tanker named after her), with Cheney, the Halliburton guy, on his side, and with his simplistic, black-and-white, good-evil worldview, all point to more conflicts and military involvement around the world. The hope is that at least the Democrats get more radicalized and will not play dead any more and stand up to this guy for once, otherwise, he will start another mess probably in Iran pretty soon.
