If Bush re-elect we could have a nuclear war in the next 4 years!

Well, this should get the media to focus on Bush, North Korea, and Iran for at least 5 minutes...

1. In that case, I want to be at ground zero

and get it over with.

[NNadir]

2. Technically you can't "re-elect" Bush.

[ElementaryPenguin]

3. I expect that we will. Scumsfeld is foaming at the mouth - can't wait to

Nuke somebody! That's the legacy he's shooting for.

:puke:

4. I would go so far as to say "will" instead of "could"

They are just itching to launch nukes and will go so far as to create a reason if there isn't one.

As far as I am concerned, there is never a good enough reason.

5. Not to mention a total economic collapse.

6. does the president even have to ask congress to drop a nuke?

Bush could use nukes in his next term to shake up the world to wake up.

7. we could easily have one beween now and the election!

Bush is drooling to nuke Iran. I believe he's goading them into a fight, or for them to make a grab at Iraq.

So he'll have a dandy excuse, just in time for the election, when we'll all gather 'round our leader once again, like back in the old days of fall '01.

8. Right-wing fundies don't worry: they think the rapture is their ticket out

This is just one of the insanities of fundamentalist religion -- the idea that they're not even going to be on Earth, and so let it blow up -- in fact, let it blow up sooner than later.

There was a fascinating article in the New Yorker on Palestinian suicide bombers -- one guy, whose bomb didn't go off, said that he was focused on his belief that "paradise lay on the other side of the {bomb} plunger."

It's this kind of twisted, "eternal peace awaits in the hereafter" fundamentalist dogma that's going to get us nuked in the here and now.
