God help the United States, for I believe that in a second term, George Bush may lead us into hell.
How do we deal with the fact that Bush is so hated in the world that he has united Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims for the first time in 11 centuries, bound together by their white-hot hatred for our president and our country?
What will Bush's response be, with 138,000 troops tied up in Iraq fighting a chronic insurgency, if Iran tests a nuclear warhead underground? What if Korea did the same the next week? Which allies would stand with us against these threats? Micronesia? Palau? Iceland? Estonia?
When these threats present themselves, Bush will have few viable military options available. Does anyone really think he has the wisdom or maturity to avoid seeing a tactical nuclear strike against Iran or Korea as an "effective" response?
We put Pandora back in her box in 1945 and have kept her there for nearly 60 years. When she pops out from under another mushroom cloud of our creation, does anyone think we'll be able to put her back a second time?
What will women say when their right to choose goes away? How will they tell their daughters that right will be gone until the young, firebrand, ultra-right judges that Bush will appoint are old and gray?
I shudder at the thought of how many other positive changes in American jurisprudence will be crushed under the jackboot of a Chief Justice Scalia court. I mourn them, for they will be long gone unless the impending nuclear winter makes their passing moot.
For the first time, I am frightened of the future, frightened for my children and ashamed of the mess we've left them.
