under the "green party" group -
Basically, it describes a national leader, taking over a country right after a major terrorist attack in uncertain economic times. The leader declared "Homeland Security" was vitally important, generated HUGE nationalist frevor, got a "Patriot act" passed by his legislature, began to take measures to increase security at the expense of personal liberty (including jailing suspects indefinitely without trial or evidence), and many of the issues we see in newspapers today. Media outlets were singing the song - their super-huge corporate parents ran just about everything in sight, and big companies were given carte blance. The leader declared war on suspected terrorist cells, attacked countries with suspected "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (later determined to be false), and too issue with the UN equivalent of the time, pulling out of treaties and agreements as suited the leader's belief of homeland security. Federal money was spent on "Faith based social initiatives" and the leader believed God was on His side.
Can you name the 2 leaders this description points to?
