Bush is taking a huge gamble with his assault on the social contract

In his second term, President Bush is determined on regime change. The
country whose order he seeks to overthrow is not ruled by mullahs or
Ba'athists. But members of his administration have compared its system
to communism. The battle will be "one of the most important
conservative undertakings of modern times", the deputy to White House
political director Karl Rove wrote in a confidential memo. Since the
election, the president has spoken often of the "coming crisis" and he
has mobilised the government to begin a propaganda campaign to prepare
public opinion for the conflict ahead. The nation whose regime he is
set on toppling is the United States.
