I asked earlier, “What hath Bush wrought?”

Brendan has answered the question in a graphic photo essay.

Warning: It’s not for the squeamish. It shows how Bushie democracy has enlightened Iraq.

If you go look, remember, this war in Iraq was made up. Fabricated. Synthesized. Duplicitized.

And the blood is on all our hands, for we allowed it.

    My prior comment stands, & I wish I had paid attention to the warning.

    We all want to believe that our leaders, whether or not we voted for them, are honorable persons.

    That is part of what has held this Great Experiment together for all these years–trusting that whoever wins an election, whether or not you or I or whoever supported him or her–the winners will act in good faith during the term of office.

    And that trust is so deeply ingrained in the American polity that, when someone violates it, as George W. Bush has violated it so egregiously, we don’t want to believe the violation occurred.

    We want to believe that, even though X has different political views, X is still a nice guy. Even when he or she isn’t.

    I will try to state my opinions in a discrete and circumspect way.

    George Bush and his hangers-on do evil. Not just wrong. Not just “mistakes that were made.”

    Evil.

    They have no goal but political dominance, no God but winning, no ideals but complete control.

    By all that’s holy, they torture in the name of the American people!

    They have dragged the history and integrity of this nation into the mud.
