Gore is right that the US needs to to take the lead. Europe has tried but
all its efforts are being undone. Unless the US elects Gore as their next
president I can see no hope for the world. I thought that by re-electing
Bush the US citizens had signed the death warrant of mankind, but if they
can do the unexpected and elect Gore then there might be some hope.
But I am still pesimistic. Bush is reorganising the federal machine to
silence the scientists and other critics. I reckon Jeb will be the next
Republican candidate and the power of the presidency will ensure his
election. Failing that, the neocons who have infiltrated federal and state
organisations from CIA to EPA will make sure that a Democrat does not gain
the White House, or just ensure the Democratic candidate is weak. Don't
forget it was Jeb who rigged the vote to get George W. elected. He and his
cronies are bound to return that favour.
It is time the American people came to their senses and took a lead from
Hungary and Thailand on what to do when you find you are being led by a
liar.
Cheers, Alastair.
