He's had plenty of experience of failure before, and he doesn't want to go there. That's what had him drinking all those years. He didn't know how to handle failure then either. He doesn't mind being evil. As long as he can fool enough people to maintain his power, he doesn't care if people like us can see him as evil. But he wouldn't want to be seen as a failure, which he's lately become.
Too bad the American people have not risen up to protest against this moral lie. Joining him in that "joke" is a sign of joining him in the lie about this war, the running away from what should be a guilty conscience.
This was not a defensible war, not the war that these Bushites gave us. This was something done for hidden and evil reasons, and that utilized evil means, like the torture of enemies and the lying to one's supposed friends.
This is about evil. That's what I want to stress here. This is about evil, and the power of it has gone very deep.
Sometimes evil puzzles me. I find Condoleza Rice not unappealing in terms of just my sense of her as a woman. I think she really was good at serving George W. Bush and keep him feeling OK. She seems like she's got some major pieces well put together.
But there she is willing to walk around Europe maintaining that we are not the Gestapo and we are not the NKVD, and no, we're not going to deal with this issue in any serious way. You'll never be able to trust anything we say.
We will not unequivocally say that we are going to do everything possible to make sure that every prisoner under our control is treated properly, in accordance with what civilization has agreed upon to place a limit to the "beastiality" of war.
Why is a girl like Condo taking up a position like that? That puzzles me. But there is some dark spirit at work there-- that I can sense. Something in old Condo is willing to check its values at the door in the name of something""maybe the man, maybe the power.
At the highest level of operation, the Bushite thing is about pure power, of which there can never be enough.
With some help, I've come to see the darkness of Cheney more clearly in recent months.
George W. Bush continues to reveal himself to me in his many-fold spiritual and moral defectiveness. So many facets that evil can work through. So much evil that's been achieved through him.
Two great acts of degrading the world.
1)A massive transformation of power and money from the weak and poor up to the mighty and rich here in America.
One theft after another-- not just the tax cuts, but also the backruptcy law, the plundering of the pensions of the American middle class (see TIME Magaine a few weeks ago), and on and on. Bush pushed much of it, the Congress did its foul share.
