Why would Americans want him for a second term?

Mostly because they're a bunch of ignoramuses who will greedily accept any line of bullshit put in puppet Dubya's mouth by Karl Rove & Grover Norquist & Bush's other handlers and propagandists, however outrageous or nonsensical.

Also they're scared shitless of being killed by terrorists, the statistical probability of which approaches negative numbers. They're several million times more likely to killed by a drunk driver, or by lightning.

Ignorance tain't bliss, folks- its just wilfull, inconquerable ignorance.

Best,

Greg
