I am sorry to correct you, but the "IV" in "IV Reich" is already taken. You must be refering to the "V Reich" in your article about the Bush-Rove-Schwarzenegger melange.
When you have illegal invasions, anexations, racist biased policy, ethnical cleansing, colonial wars and the like, there is no need to trace any association with the former III Reich, the likeness is already striking. The North American-Israeli Empire more than deserves the title of IV Reich.

I write to ask you to resign from the White House staff. Recent press reports have indicated that, while you may or may not have been the source of the Robert Novak column which revealed the status and name of a covert operative, the wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson, you were involved in a subsequent effort to push this classified information to other reporters and give it even wider currency.
This itself may be a federal crime, but regardless of that fact, your actions are morally indefensible.
In my view, it is shameful and unethical that an Administration that promised to govern with "honor and integrity" and "change the tone" in Washington has now engaged in an orchestrated campaign to smear and intimidate truth-telling critics, placing them in possible physical harm and impairing the efforts and operations of the CIA.
-more Texas and Colorado style gerrymandering
-Florida and Georgia style vote and voter roll list corruption
-dirt slinging and accusations (like Paula Jones) just as Gray Davis used on Arnold, who clearly, was guilty.
-distraction tactics, including:
a.. Iran or Syria war
b.. Inflammation of N. Korean situation, probably started by heightened polemic
c.. announcements of arrests of terrorists
d.. orange alerts
e.. Roe Vs. Wade abortion fight
f.. Church vs. State skirmishes like the 10 commandments in the Courthouse
The frightening part is that the people of California knew, too. There is some indication that tracking polls showed his support slipping in the wake of all last week's revelations. Polls are tricky things, of course, but if this is true then the election happened just in time. The republicans have become adept at cherrypicking such opportunities and milking them for all they're worth.
All those folks who had conniption fits over Bill Clinton's affair are now pooh-poohing Arnold Schwarzenegger's sexual misconduct -- and vice versa. The right-wingers who are always griping about Hollywood stars who express political opinions -- "Shut Up and Sing" -- suddenly find an actor perfectly fit for high political office based on his experience as The Terminator.
Professional patriots who would have been screaming with horror had the Clinton White House ever leaked the name of an undercover CIA agent now struggle to justify or minimize such a thing.
Martin's info is not at all reliable. Just try doing a search for Röverer Süd-Deutsche Ingenieurbüro AG (which would have been the correct spelling of the company, if the umlaut in Rove's alleged original name is correct. Süd in German means "south". I'm not aware of any word "sud"). When I googled for it, I came up with NOTHING, even looking in Google Deutschland.
I was an instructor at Philips Academy, where the Bushes all went for prep
school. It is widely regarded as perhaps the most prestigious academy in our
nation, and certainly the oldest.
What isn't widely known, except inside the school, is that Dubya was
disciplined for scrawling swastikas on jewish students doors. This is known
only to the old and new house counselors, the deans, a few faculty, the
student involved, myself, others withing PA where it is held close to the
chest.
You might get this word out. I can attest to its validity. For obvious
reasons, you may not use my name in print in any form regarding this
historical fact. Nonethless I would like you to have this knowledge.
Gettting proof would require court subpoena of the locked safe at PA, which
I doubt anyone could do. The registrar was my housemate and is exceedlingly
cautious about it since seven presidents have gone through the academy,
among hundreds of other magnates.
