Herr Bush's empire collapses

The cruel structures of Herr Bush's neo conservative empire are falling into ruin. Financially, he's bankrupting the US by leaving a debt of us$482bn; strategically, he's lied his way into war in Iraq, and has stretched the military supply of cannon fodder [the pool of the poor, the oppressed, and the immigrant masses]; he's botched the war in Afghanistan. His court favourites are under the laser law of the law and many are disgraced and some may even end up in prison once Herr Bush is out of office. The rich whom he's favoured have ruin riot in hedonistic living and have grown fatter and decadent and corrupt thanks to Herr Bush's tax cuts. Herr Bush has torn up the US constitution to impose his imperial presidency; his minions have rewritten laws and conventions to condone torture and high crimes and unusual punishments for whom he perceives to be his enemies. Were Freud alive today, he surely would in disgust turn Herr Bush into a case study of the weak Caesars that fell one after the other during the decline of Rome. The US deserves better, but Herr Bush's corporate friends have bought the country for their own gain. And a sadder day it is that that has happened. Herr Bush's managed to turn the US into the sick man of globalism.
