Exactly.... but they're not...
Before the terrorist stuff it was all democrats bickering back and forth about tax stuff... and people complaining about the woman's right to choose thing... and Bush's approval rating was at like... what? 50 something percent?
Then all of a sudden we're attacked and we're like "WOO HOO! GO AMERICA!" and then we attack and we're like "YAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Maybe that's why gekko calls all that patriotism fake (at least I think he called it fake) because it pops up when it's convenient or whatever you wanna say
And now stuff is dying down with the USA like... pretty much done with the bombing and such (or at least the major bombingness) in afghanistan, but not doing anything to another target yet...
So now it's the Enron scandle... "Why is it a big deal if these talks are private or not? What is Cheney hiding?" and stuff like that...
But I dunno...
