Yes. Nobody contested the vote. It look as if a small majority (i.e. trees
and shrubs voting vor Bush) voted for this administration. No secession, no
armed uprise, no emigration. Yep, you voted for them.

Is that a rhetorical question? If no, I see exactly zero unrest, and people
marching on the streets. Yes, you have the government you deserve.

I think at this stage of the game it is obvious that the only countries that
are safe are those with credible deterrence potential. 

Unfortunately, the EU is too slow to realize that, and start investing in a
nuclear umbrella (teaming up with Russia would seem like a good idea), as 
well as the ability to protect its assets in orbit and/or be able to 
terminate enemy assets.
