Amen To That

So, a major terrorist plot is foiled in England, airline traffic is FUBAR for the forseeable future, and now all of us who have to get on planes any time soon will be dealing with not only our own panic but everyone else’s.
And how does the Bush administration feel about this? Well, apparently, they’re stoked.
Someday, just once, I want to see someone get up in public and ask why it is that Americans are expected to feel safer with a guy in power whose political fortunes are linked this closely to terrorism. Doesn’t it bother anyone else to see that every time something either blows up or almost blows up, the Bush administration lackeys get out there and say, “Hey, fabulous, this is really going to boost our approval ratings”? Wouldn’t you rather have someone in power who did not see terrorism as a political godsend? Wouldn’t you maybe trust a guy more whose whole political survival didn’t depend on things like this happening? Who, you know, didn’t think terrorism had an upside?
