One of the things I always find amusing with the 'Bush is going to take over the country' people is that if he had that in mind, he would also been of a mind to plant WMD's in Iraq. The deceit and malice just isn't there.
If a president wanted to take over the US he couldn't really do it alone, he would need a merry band of loyal followers to do his bidding. If I was such a president, do you think I'd use a pandemic outbreak of a disease? My minions, would put a small nuke in a US city, no one would care when I declared marshal law after that, and I'd go from there.

Why not use a pandemic outbreak of a disease to fan the fear in the heart of all America? Avian Flu?? It's a natural disaster. Couldn't be prevented. No security services at fault, no hearings to convene, no 'enemy' to hunt down, and most importantly, no blame for anyone.
It's an 'Act of God,' unavoidable...sorry, it turned out the way it did. If only 'we' had listened. And it makes it easier the next time...and the next time...and the next time, especially when he starts invoking the really scary stuff, dirty bombs, terror cells, etc, etc.
I'm usually not a worst case scenario kind of guy and I don't always think the worst of people. I just like to err on the side of caution, especially when it concerns my government, which seems to be drowned in ulterior motives.
