Bush Crosses the Rubicon




By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Dictatorships seldom appear full-fledged but emerge piecemeal. When Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with one Roman legion he broke the tradition that protected the civilian government from victorious generals and launched the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. Fearing that Caesar would become a king, the Senate assassinated him. From the civil wars that followed, Caesar's grand nephew, Octavian, emerged as the first Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus.

1. Oh great ...

If history does indeed repeat itself.... does this mean we get
Chimpy's idiot nephew as our first emperor? George P The First ?

And out of curiosity..... who would be our Brutus??
I just want to dole out hearty thanks in advance.
