It occurs to me that the results of the US mid-term elections may be good news in more than the obvious ways.
It has been my belief over the past five years that the US as a nation was suffering from a form of collective PTSS (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. (This was why, for example, Bush and his cronies were able to convince the American public of the necessity to invade Iraq. The constant drumbeat of the 'War on Terror' was cynically used to ride roughshod over any opposition to the invasion.)
Hopefully, the rout of the neo-cons is a sign that Americans are finally emerging from their long nightmare. The healing process is well under way.
