I know I'm a little behind, but I finally read the New York Times story by Ron Suskind on Bush and faith. Wow. That was probably the most illuminating article about the Bush Presidency. It highlights something that I've felt about Bush especially since the start of the Iraq war. A lot of people on the Left think Bush lied the reasons to get involved. I don't think so. I think he believed that Saddam was a threat and made facts fit his faith. The problem with Bush is not that he's a liar, but that he actually believes that Saddam was gong to attack America and that Saddam and Al Queda had an alliance. It's one thing to deal with a charlatan. But it is a whole different kettle of fish to deal with can create their own reality.
I have tons more to say about this, but it's late. More later.
