the more i think about it, the more i am persuaded that the bush people are dead in the water. they have no options, they have no credibility, they have nowhere to go and nothing to do. the best they can hope for is some disaster. the worst thing that could happen to them is a disaster that they did not plan. and if they plan one, i am pretty sure they'd fuck it up. they are dead in the water--but that doesnt mean that the story is over, that they cannot continue to do damage.

and this mess we live in is of their own making. there is no=one and nothing else to blame for it.

that they are dead in the water has nothing to do with the system's checks and balances--fact is that if these people were not such unbelievable incompetents, there would be no checks on them: the situation is already such that these"checks" have been disabled. they HAVE BEEN disabled for the past 6 years, particularly in the period after 9/11/2001. if they hadnt BEEN disabled, the united states would not be in iraq. period. the iraq war is bloody proof that the system itself is not some bizarrely animate abstraction that runs the show behind the backs of the very fallible people who actually do things within it. the war in iraq only was possible because, for a period, the system DID NOT WORK. and that it now presents all of us with the degree of incoherence that it does, and that there remains such paralysis on the subject, shows that the systems STILL does not work.

it is not a grim a situation now as it was a couple years ago.
but it is still pretty thoroughly fucked up--and there seems to be nothing to be done to be rid of these incompetents until their miserable tenure dribbles to its conclusion.
i am sure the body count in iraq will be even more appallingly high by then.
i am sure that the body count in gaza and south lebanon will be even more appallingly high then.
i am sure that the body count in afghanistan will be even more appallingly high then.

best we can hope for is that these people do not do anything REALLY stupid in the interim--like invade iran.

yeah, its' a great system---it has worked like a charm.
