For the record, Truman, who ordered the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was a Democrat. Not to mention that The Manhattan Project was under his Democratic predecessor, Roosevelt. Lyndon Johnson was behind Vietnam. Janet Reno was behind Waco.
Meanwhile I haven't given up on my country. George W. Bush WILL be out of office on January 20, 2009. He has NOT been named Chancellor for Life. That is the primary indicator that things are not as dire as they seem.
