Just a thought. This time around, Ashcroft won't be in power. Ashcroft was the mastermind behind the much maligned Patriot Acts. While Bush was largely responsible for the campaign against Islamic terrorism, it was Ashcroft who was responsible for any attempts to turn the US into a police state w/o civil rights. I don't think the people who fear for their rights have anything to worry about. Bush apparently thought Ashcroft too extreme, as did we all. That said, those who fear for Islamic 3rd world countries everywhere might still have grounds for concern. I wouldn't be suprised to see a war against Iran fairly soon. Only Saudi Arabia, and Egypt will be left unscathed when the campaigns are finished.
