Logically, it makes sense that he would suspend HC.  |
He who, white man? Bush or Lincoln? As I recall, Lincoln was not a power-mad psycho and the Civil War was one that was actually officially declared. Also, in the Civil War, there was little question of who the enemy was - it was either those damn Confederates or those damn Yankees, depending on your point of view.
Now we have a "war on terror" which seems to include the entire world.
Bush is just doing whatever he can to gather power in the executive office. Big diff.
