Be prepared for a big transition of the Bush War Machine gets its way before november.
The link made so much sense, and demonstrates what is missing in politics today: Vision.
The Dem debate illustrated this point with the constantly asked question: What have you done?
And while I’ll agree that this question has merit it isn’t necessarily a precursor to what someone will do. Oh, I know they asked about specific plans, but they were always linked to a time-table. “In my first 60 days,” or “By the end of my first term”. And when these artificial deadlines aren’t met the plan/vision gets labeled a failure.
Change rarely happens overnight. It requires a methodical approach that slowly brings public opinion with it.
