Power Shift in the American Political Landscape
November 15th 2006 07:27
The crushing defeat of the US Admin Party to the Democrats in the Mid-term election leave no doubt about their meaning. Why do you think the American electorate rebuked Bush and in a way "fired" Rumsfeld? Here's some of the reasons that comes to mind :
* A rejection of Bush Iraq war policy. The continuing bloodletting in Iraq drove the voters to demand a change.
* The incompetence and delayed response to the hurricane "Katrina" catastrophe.
* Sex crime issues that hounded key Republican officials.
There must be other factors that marked the shift of powers in the US political landscape. Dems now have total control of Congress. The departure of Bush' combative Defense Secretary would force the Pres. to adopt a more conciliatory approach to the globe's crisis, a lesson in humility indeed.
