Like Father, Like Son...

Harley Sorenson, San Francisco Chronicle

"If you put everything into context, 'new American century,' as used by the elder Bush, did not mean a new century in America. What it meant, in simplest terms, is that the United States would dominate the world in the 21st century. And that's what the younger Bush is clearly striving for: world domination. The push for American dominance is why the younger Bush treats the United Nations with a contempt usually reserved by conservatives for the Berkeley City Council. To dominate, we can't cooperate with others; we must become a rogue nation. It looks to me like Daddy had his cohorts lay out the blueprint, then he put them in charge of Sonny. Sonny does what he's told. Even the scheme to destroy our social programs is straight out of Daddy's playbook. First, through ill-conceived tax cuts and reckless spending, you put the nation into debt. Then, lamenting a lack of funds, you abolish the programs. That's vintage Reagan-Bush. It's hard to tell now when the Bush family steamroller will finally be brought under control. When it is, I do hope the investigators took a good look at Daddy. He Da Man!
