Why Bush got re-elected

Ive read some throw away comments in the last few days but the best has been - If Bush is reelected the US deserves everything it gets.
That goes to show that alot of people still do not understand what happened on 9/11. Let me try help.
There was a brief period in human history when war did not effect the entire populations psyche to the effect that they didnt fear for their own existence.
These were the Cabinet Wars typically of the 1700s when the armies alone were involved in the fighting, this didnt last long and by the time Franco - Prussian war
came defeat once again could mean anniliation.
Nations cant understand and foresee their annilation like individuals have problems understanding and foreseeing their own deaths.
On the morning of 9/11 America tasted their own anniliation, to some people 9/11 was a crime, to others it was a cheeky prank to teach a lesson and to others still it was good television
but to the majority of Americans it represented the start of a war for their survival.
Consequently after the threat in Afganistan was neutralized it had to be shown that State sponsors of terror that had weapons of mass destruction
and their allies were either 'with us or against us'.
Saddam was not with us and there were convenient reasons to take him out - ten years of unfinished UN business,
Gaddafi decided otherwise - he was with us, as is Pakistan. Iran and North Korea are looming large in the sights and so are Saudia Arabia.
People say Bush throw away universal good will, that is wrong the universe at best didnt understand what was happening and was never on the same page as Bush.

'If Bush is reelected the US deserves everything it gets' - well so do those at war with the US, the war is already on and
you are the last to realise it started - you better hope the US wins.
Congratulations on your reelection Mr Bush.
