The International Law of the Jungle, brought to you by the Bush junta,
seems to be short lived.

1. The Bush doctrine, preventive war did not achieve its stated
objective, 'spreading democracy' (read: neo-liberal economic
exploitation of the world, including the US, by the International
Corporate Oligarchy). Though, it fattened the oil companies and the
military-industrial-complex, and of course it brought the US closer to
bankruptcy, which are Republican objectives too.

2. Not respecting sovereignty, territorial integrity is backfiring. Its
aim was to weaken states opposed to the Bush agenda by ripping them
apart, but support the ones' crack down on minorities if the rulers
supply troops to the aggressive wars the US is involved in.

3. The methods used by the Bush junta (torture, kidnapping, extra
judicial killing) is on the decline too. Though bin Laden has never been
caught. Why would they catch him? He is one of the justification of the
never ending GWOT.

In conclusion; the American People are quite stupid, see 90% of approval
of the Bush junta as of the end of 2001, but not stupid forever!
