This paragraph caught my eye a bit:
"Just in the last few months," Bartlet says, "I think a light has gone off for people who've spent time up close to Bush: that this instinct he's always talking about, is this sort of weird Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do. This is why George W. Bush is so clear-eyed about al-Qaida and the Islamic fundamentalist enemy. He believes you have to kill them all. They can't be persuaded that they're extremists, driven by a dark vision. He understands them because he's just like them. He truly believes he is on a mission from God."
Even if that is one iota true, it's pretty scary to think about.
One thing........if Bush gets in again for 4 more years, it will be a very interesting term.
