Bush's chance for re-election

Was it in March of 1968 - that awesome year ! - that Mr. Hubris

    himself, LBJ , said  in a solemn and melancholy tone : " I shall not

    seek.... "  He was FINISHED as president of the United States , destroyed

    by Vietnam , a war he could just not stop. He could not say NO to the

    mad bombers in the Pentagon.

               Next year around this time  President George W. Bush - a

    Texas cowboy like Lyndon Johnson - will, I bet, make a similar speech.

              It seems that the only way we could  save Iraq was to destroy

    it. But there were unexpected consequences. The American people asked

    themselves : " Are we safer from terrorism than we were four years ago ? "

             They asked : " Are we better off economically than we were four

    years ago ? "

             A smiling Hillary Clinton has just  won the New Hampshire

    primary.  Husband  Bill is beside her holding her hand -and smiling

    too, his face blushing its primary colors.

             Who says  history is bunk ?
