1. Last night, I think on BBC, they said "two superpowers."

Meaning the US and China. When Bush seized power there was only ONE superpower, the United States. While our resources have been wasted in pointless, unwinnable wars, the real threats have been completely and utterly neglected. By acting like a schoolyard bully (always the weakest one in the room despite appearances), Bush has managed to reveal that our presumed superior might was nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Because of that, for some time to come, our fate will be decided not by ourselves but by other nations who have not foolishly wasted their opportunities and wealth.

THAT is what BushCo has done to us.
