Midway through the Frontline documentary Cheney's Law, which aired last Tuesday on PBS, a reporter summarizes a judgment the vice president conveyed to listeners in hiding in the hours after the bombings of September 11. "We will probably," he said, "have to be a country ruled by men rather than laws, in this period." The period, he implied, would last a long time; so the conclusion had all the Cheney markings: cool, complete, defying contradiction. What is astounding is how quickly he arrived at it.

    • Uhm, goodsnservices, I disagree, dictators are MADE. Have you ever gone over to a friend's house to visit and their kids just aint no good? I mean they're gratitude is lackin, jumpin all over ya, and their parents just don't seem to care? Then to enforce this behavior they're given a treat? This is how you make a spoiled, ignorant tyrant.

      Double that when they come from well-to-do families and they continue to get whatever they want throughout their twenties (draft deferments, anyone?). SCARY.
