Memo to Bush: What You Must Do to Win Dick MorrisThis is the fifth in a series by Dick Morris based on his latest best-selling book, "Power Plays: Win or Lose – How History's Great Political Leaders Play the Game."

The only enemy Bush has to fear in 2004 is his own potential for distraction. If he perseveres and attacks one terrorist stronghold after another, toppling Saddam Hussein, cowing Iran, forcing concessions from North Korea, intimidating Syria, and flipping Libya and the Sudan one after the other, he will keep his momentum and win a huge mandate in 2004. But distractions loom. Will the Arab-Israeli conundrum mire yet another American president in the quicksand where so many others are buried? Will the threats of war in Kashmir and elsewhere distract the president and cause him to lose his focus? Will the timid politicians of Western Europe slow him down or the misplaced pacifism of the United Nations stop him from his appointed rounds? Will the Democrats lure him into a no-win argument about what did he know and when did he know it as 9-11 approached? The only enemy Bush has to fear is Bush himself. Can he keep focused on getting his pressing business done? If the election of 2004 is about terror, Bush wins. If it is about anything else, he likely loses. But there is plenty of terror left in the world to keep Bush occupied and the nation committed. The only enemy Bush has to fear is Bush himself. Can he keep focused on getting his pressing business done?
