My question is, does Bush really believe that what he is doing is right? And if so, is there any answer to the question, how in the hell did we elect him, other than widespread apathy in 2000? I kinda liked the guy on Democracy Now who said that blaming Bush for what happens in the US is kinda like blaming Mickey Mouse for what happens at Disney World. There is no there there. The guy is a front for people who arent concerned about whether they are doing the right thing.
I think you have to distinguish between representatives and leaders. While a congressman or a senator needs to bear in mind the people he is representing, a president should be a leader who says here is where we should go. Otherwise, you wind up with the current Democratic contest to see who can be the greyest and most mediocre.
But what do I know. I'd still kinda like to see Hillary run....
