Dictatorship Rising?

"From Hitler to Pinochet and beyond, history shows there are certain steps that any would-be dictator must take to destroy constitutional freedoms. And, argues Naomi Wolf, George Bush and his administration seem to be taking them all."
[via dev.null]

So plausible as to be quite scary. You can see where Blair/the UK government have avoided the same risks (eg prisons) but have gone along with others (eg ID cards).

Now, how do you stop someone making that final step? They are just waiting for an opportunity, to move against it you would need to rebuild all of the erosion already caused.
