Oh, we can point at Bush, or the "leadership" in Congress, but with the protections afforded by the original balances of powers almost eroded out of existence, and with all three branches floating in a fetid pool of anti-intellectualism, all they really do is play each other against the next, everyone seeking more power to grab more money so they have more power . . . . Thus they play with our lives, using our money. Where is the statesman among them? Could one even survive the suffocating irrationality of it all? Would the man who could, choose to? The Islamofascists are right about one thing: our institutions are debauched and depraved. How we are to win against a patient and confident enemy with such is the question.
