National Mythologies and the Aftermath of Election 2004 by Mark Dankof
Writing from Dallas and Dealey Plaza this week, Mark Dankof reminds BATR readers that in the wake of the beginning of the Fallujah offensive; the fall of the dollar; the rise of the Euro; the deepening budget and trade deficits; the ominous signs of eventual American-Israeli military preemption of Syria and Iran; and the coming re-institution of the Draft in the United States, the notion that the victory of George Bush one week ago signals victory for Constitutional and Conservative government in America ranks with the National Mythologies surrounding Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt as one of the great falsehoods in our nation's history.
