Lucky Mr. Bush
After the lucky election victory over Al Gore in the 2000 elections, the only lucky thing that happened to Mr. Bush Jr is the attack on the WTC and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. That gave him the blank cheque to mould international politics his own way. Before February 2003 the Americans who could not even place Iraq on the world map now see body bags arriving from there regularly. Apart from the thriving arms factories in Texas, all other forms of business struggled, and millions left jobless. Still Bush Jr. enjoyed plenty of support from the Americans.
Now that the Democrats have come up with a strong contender in Kerry can we see the Republicans faltering. Like father like son, One term and you're done.
