Watching CSPAN this monring, listening to callers speaking to Anthony Cordesman, I was reminded of G. Gordon Liddy's comment about Americans:

So many were calling in to say "Well if we did THIS then it would all work out," or "If we don't elect Democrats..." or "If we don't listen to Republicans..."

Mr. Cordesman commented on the American love of the belief that there are simple solutions to problems...

And G.Gordon Liddy put it nicely when he said, long ago:


"Americans are distinguished from all other nationalities by one thing: A deep and abiding faith in the Easter Bunny."
