It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Bush

Dubya is dangerous. Damned dangerous. Explain to me why 33% of the country is blind to that obvious fact, willya?

Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Max Hastings: Bush's belief in a worldwide Islamist conspiracy is foolish and dangerous

George Bush sometimes sounds more like the Mahdi, preaching jihad against infidels, than the leader of a western democracy. In his regular radio address to the American people on Saturday he linked the British alleged aircraft plotters with Hizbullah in Lebanon, and these in turn with the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.

All, said the president of the world's most powerful nation, share a "totalitarian ideology", and a desire to "establish a safe haven from which to attack free nations". Bush's remarks put me in mind of a proverb attributed to Ali ibn Abu Talib: "He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere."
