I believe George Bush is a man with a good heart who cares about his fellow 
man and truly believes in Christian principles.  I also believe he is a man 
with a weak mind.  I further believe this unfortunate combination of traits 
makes him very vulnerable to those in whom he places his trust, because it is 
a blind trust.
He is the President.  He has the last word and no one can tell him what to do 
without his consent.  He is also, as president, in over his head and is smart 
enough to know it. He has little or no interest in foreign relations and 
little knowledge of geo-politics or even geography. He is totally dependent on 
his father's friends (the cabinet/Cheney) for guidance.  He is a loyal son who 
won't question his farther's friends.  If they give him bad advice, he will 
not fire them or even stop listening to them.  He won't know they gave him bad 
advice.  They won't tell him.

If you can't laugh at yourself, make fun of someone else.
