But moreover the comprehensive level of State imposed Political/Security founded Terror, Murder, Torture, Deportation, Starvation etc. This to the tune of at least 20,000,000 killed---Not to mention the War, famine, cannibalism etc.,that sealed the fates of some 26-7 million more...In short it is staggering...I don't necessarily believe in God. But, God forbid that this Nation ever remotely approaches the decline in, and abrogation of, those Individual Rights 'Guaranteed' us under 'Law.' As it is the proven catalyst that eventually leads to that very level of Existential Barbarism that I've just had to close the book[s] on...Add to this the amoral and psychological elements of Tyranny, and provided one is sufficiently imaginative. Even its 2nd hand effect, nearly a Century later...can be truly sickening. …Just been doing some protracted research on the History of the Soviet Union; i.e. Lenin, Trotsky, “Uncle Joe” Stalin, The 1936-39 Purge.

They may even thing the good Lawd is placing the words in his mouth. From BBC: Mr Bush is quoted as saying that - just like his father, ex-President George Bush Sr - he plans on a lecture tour after he leaves office in 2008. He reveals that his father gets more than $50,000-75,000 per speech and that Bill Clinton is "making a lot of money". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6975916.stm Mace - Trust me, the people who worship Bush now don’t notice that he is an idiot.

It looks like this book will probably embolden our enemies. It will only inspire them to put out more propaganda against the interests of America. Of course, I am talking about our enemies in the White House. In keeping with my psychic prediction that Republicans will come to hate Bush Junior more than any other Republican President (after the 2008 elections), I predict that Bush Betrayal will become a best-seller among those who currently worship the dimwit. In fact, I'll bet this book is being used by the opposition research teams of all of the GOP candidates seeking the nomination right now. Whoever wins the nomination can cite your book as the reason they are distancing themselves from Bush prior to the general election. Once Bush hits the lecture circuit in 2009, we may even see angry young Republicans being tasered as they clutch Bush Betrayal while shouting questions at the former dictator. My God, Jim!

There is one thing that takes me back to my youth and that is Ron Paul's candidancy. He's doing well and the powers that be are having an increasingly harder time trying to ignore him. :)

It sounds like he wants to publish an Arab version of your book. I wonder if Basher Assad has read it? "As long as Americans tolerated more of Bush’s lies and stupidities, the more the harms and dangers they will suffer from, will increase, and the more the perils he will lead them into." I think something was lost in the translation here, not having the book in front of me, but this is certainly true today as it was when originally penned. Jim,
