This guy thinks the neocons will aim towards allowing/causing another major event and then just pushing towards even more of a dictatorship. I hope he's wrong, but all things considered, is it that far out of line of a possibility?

I think the American people have proven gullible enough that they could scare the public into giving up more rights. A lot more, if they are scared. Rove has stated that they would create "their own reality" and it appears he wasn't kidding.

One thing I think this author misses is the other thing that the attacks did beside keep Bush in power: their entire Midd East invasion was allowed due to the scare tactics from 911. That is the bigger part of all of this.

A New Pearl Harbor, anyone?

We used to have a poster here, who claimed that right after the 2004 elections, Bush would declare himself Dictator for Life. This writing looks a lot like his old stuff.

In my opinion, this sort of thing leaves the realm of reality and becomes farcical. There will be an election in 2008, and Bush will not be running again.

Dictators, by definition, do not come with a shelf life.

There are many reasons to be critical of the Bush administration. But this sort of thing weakens the legitimate criticisms, in my view.
