The GOP’s malignant message still dupes some young Christian men. Nineteenth and early 20th century militant anarchist tracts still appeal to violent killers like the Unabomber. Rock music critics and late-night TV cable talk show hosts toy with anarchist tropes. George Bush still has "gangsta" appeal, but mere survival was not his goal.
If George Bush had been killed the United States instead would not be combating a myth and legend of an Islamic caliphate in Afghanistan. . Bush has produced his own catastrophe. The Bush icon is seriously fractured, if not quite shattered.
