If you look at the history, it becomes scarily clear that the Bush family is just the tip of a very strange and scary iceberg. The so-called Neocons have been running the executive branch of the govt.since Nixon, bar the few and desperately opposed Democratic presidencies. The Names of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest, including Bush senior, have been there behind the scenes for almost forty years.
Eisenhower (also a Republican, btw) spoke with real prescience when he warned John F. Kennedy about allowing the military industrial complex too much power. They now seem to have all the power and, no surprise, they like to use their products.
