Bush at crossroads
Of course, the Bush administration that began a global terror war to track the so-called "terrorists" across the globe following Sept 11, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq, had not expected that their "democratic" drive would be fruitless and disastrous and that they would end up at the crossroads with their eyes looking pathetically at passers-by for help. Armed with terrible strategies killing the innocent Muslims globally on the advice offered by his Neo-cons, President G.W. Bush has already not only burnt his both hands (not just the fingers), he has also been left almost alone at the crossroads, looking around for customers not only for US weapon systems but also with fresh offers of nuclear deals if only the buyers could rescue him through some face-saving devise, help his Republican Party regain its lost image and also win the upcoming presidential elections in 2008 as well. His efforts to divert the world attention from the disasters and failures in Afghanistan and Iraq yielded no fruits. Now that he has got no extra hands to burn in Iran and elsewhere, the Iran venture seems to be put on hold. Bush seems to be very seriously considering the options for survival and image building. The very thought of leaving White House in disgrace obviously makes him and his Neo-cons all the more depressed and confused. It seems, the only option before him now is to conduct joint military maneuvers in different regions and some how confuse the nations across the globe and try to alter the world mindset as far as possible. Will Bush succeed?
