Will Enron type scandals be recorded as symptomatic of a greedy, capitalistic system or an aberration in a mostly ethical business environment?

 Will the Gore-Democrats be seen as having tried every conceivable legal shenanigan to steal the 2000 presidential election, or will the Republicans be regarded as election felons through their so-called enablers on the United States Supreme Court?

 Now, fast forward to the present and the controversy over Iraq. When I listen to Democrats accusing President Bush of deceit about Iraqi WMDs and painting him as a murderer of thousands of Americans and Iraqis to justify his preconceived, neoconservative, imperialistic war, I find myself right back in the Twilight Zone. Again, how can we witness the same events and come to such radically different conclusions?

 Many rank-and-file Democrats might not know better, but their leaders do. They were privy to the same intelligence Bush was, and they know that Saddam had WMDs and used them, that he repeatedly violated U.N. resolutions, that he kicked out U.N. inspectors, that he filed a fraudulent report, that he directed his scientists to bury evidence, that he had a mobile chemical lab, that he harbored and otherwise aided terrorists, and that he was himself a terrorist.

 They know the Bush administration didn't base its decision to attack Iraq on the disputed report that it tried to purchase uranium from Niger and that Congress had already voted for the war resolution prior to that allegation surfacing. Indeed they know there is still credible evidence that this intelligence is true and that Britain stands behind it. They know that Bush did not hype the evidence against Iraq.

 But as with the 2000 election, reacquiring the White House is far more important than the truth. If anyone is guilty of deceit, it's the Democratic leaders who have once again unconscionably sent their followers into the farthest reaches of the Twilight Zone. There, they stew in bitterness and confusion wondering why the majority of people don't view President Bush as a scoundrel instead of the man of faith and character they believe him to be.
