The Bush administration's policies in a nutshell:
The deliberate destruction of American Institutions like the Congress,the agencies of the Federal Government,the Supreme Court,

The deliberate conversion of the Press into a propaganda tool.

The deliberate invoking of religion to control the minds of the gullible.

The deliberate impoverishment of people to put fear of economic insecurity.

The deliberate sowing of racism, xenophobia,religious bigotry against foreigners.

The deliberate "recolonization" of Arab countries in league with old time imperialists like the British to steal their resources and sow fear into them.

Have I left anything else out?

1. No that seems to cover it given that rape, plunder, piliage...
...and corruption are the inevitable by product of these policies

4. The deliberate impoverishment of people to put fear of economic insecurity
In them, I take it?

Also isn't fear of economic insecurity redundent?

I'm not sure about the deliberate sowing of racism xenopobia or religious bigotry - the most open manifestation of this is in the religious bigotry and that is more directed against fellow United States citizens than foreigners (the hated liberal elitists).

5. By George, I think you got it: would add deliberate destruction of fiscal
soundness of the Federal government with sights on destruction of social security et al. What is amazing, the people eat it up in numbers truly amazing.
