Game Over

Todays newspapers make depressing reading. This from the FT:

In this respect, there were two interesting sentences in Mr Bush's State of the Union address to Congress. "The course of this nation," the president said, "does not depend on the decisions of others." Why should it? "The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity."

It's hard not to be impressed by the sheer arrogance and stupidity. I don't think that Hussein realises with what he's dealing:

To quote again from Mr Bush, this time from his speech last year to the West Point military academy: "Moral truth is the same in every culture, in every time, in every place."

So, there you go, it doesn't matter. Bush not only has God on his side, he's also convinced what he is doing is morally indisputable.

I guess i always new that having a born again christian in the whitehouse was a bad idea. Worth remember that old axiom, " The only good christian, is a dead christian."

What with all this talk of total war and of a new imperium, the best we can hope for is Cheney having a massive heart attack, Bush having a nervous breakdown... but that still leaves the indescribably evil Rumsfeld, creepy Rice and a whole host of other crazies.
