Bruce said: But that will not make me glad that Bush is in power. He is an equally dangerous man, and he controls the most significant military power in the history of the world. THAT, my friend, is friggin' scary.

I'm afraid I can't argue with that. But look on the bright side: At least he's in a position where he can be removed bloodlessly by constitutional means. Which is (more's the pity) not to say that he will be so removed at the end of this term. Money talks, and he's a formidable fundraiser.

But one can always hope for that end, which couldn't be said for Saddam.
