NYT LTTE compares Bush to God.
I'm not kidding.


To the Editor:

In your lengthy criticism of President Bush and the invasion of Iraq, you correctly pointed out that "there was another theory behind the invasion" other than weapons of mass destruction. "Mr. Bush might have been slow to articulate it, but other prominent officials were saying early on that overthrowing Saddam Hussein would shake up the hidebound, undemocratic regimes in the Middle East and free the natural democratic impulses of Arab and Islamic people."

The W.M.D. excuse was sellable to the American people. Democratization was not. History will record that sometimes the end justifies the means. The invasion of Iraq was one of those times.

The president recognized after 9/11 that the war on terror can be won only by democratization of the Middle East, starting with Iraq.

God created the world in six days. It will take Mr. Bush, a mere mortal, much longer.

This is pathological behavior. Do we need any more signs not to "reason" with these people? It's time to start letter-writing campaigns and primary challenges to any Dem legislator who talks about "compromise" or "bipartisanship."

2. I guess Saudi Arabs don't have the "natural impulse"
that all other Arabs have.

Pointing that out would active the RW chip, and
get you blank stares.

5. So, anytime chimp's handlers want something really big
that nobody else wants, they are justified in making up a story to shove it down our throats. Very godly, I would say.

is really very freighting.
