It's safe, I think,  to number Bush among the
"criminally insane" world leaders, to borrow a phrase
from Pynchon, although God knows the man has his
defenders hereabouts.  I hope it's just a matter of

community (and their children) can stop this war
monger before he launches the Armageddon his
bloodthirsty Promise-Keeper buddies pray for.

Imagine what bloodthirsty Bush would have to say if
reports such as these -- the mainstream press is
littered with them today -- leaked out of Iraq
regarding that country's plans?  

To be expected, I fear, from a man whose family
fronted for Hitler.
