Fear

After this morning's terror attacks, Bush said something like "the war on terror goes on." You could almost sense the rejuvinated purpose in his voice. The reason? For all of the acting tough in Washington, the neocon agenda relies heavily on fear not toughness. It is for this reason that their agenda overlaps with the agenda of the terrorists. They all want us civilians to be scared, but with different end purposes in mind. Today Bush got a new attack, and a gift of sorts. Maybe he can use this to stir up enough fear in the minds of some Americans and get his policies and Supreme Court nominees in place.
