There will need to be such a tremendous amount of rebuilding. Will there be energetic volunteers- so this doesn't happen again?
If we get the right person in the next election, it could be turned around fairly quickly. Obama turned things around pretty quickly as far as our standing on the world stage after President "I really did not want this job" Bush.
" Give me liberty, or give me death" as Patrick Henry put it , and "Shrub's (as Molly Ivins called him) "Give me war-or, give me war!" George Walker Bush never actually said this, but every action meant this.
@Diogenes That was Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Carl Rove's war. Bush was just along for the ride. By the time he figured out he fucked up, it was to late. If you noticed those three guys had a l much lower profile in his second term. Bush's daddy issues, put those men in power, and that led to the war. Pretty crazy.
