2. Fear.
When one is engulfed in fear, reason and appropriate action are thwarted.

5. In the words of FDR ...
The only thing we have to fear is fear it's self.

The fearmongers are public enemy no 1

4. Corporate Media
They use and are used for the profit of their elite ownership and those who gain power through their monopolization of our sources of information. The others wouldn't be possible without the enabling of this entity.

12. Good point - I'd rate Rupert Murdoch in particular pretty high!
He, and others of his ilk (e.g. the editors of the tabloids), have done a lot of harm in the UK too.

8. I don't let Bush off the hook.
The smarmy chimp doesn't wiggle out of responsibility this time, no matter how disgusting the company he keeps.
