Bush seems to think his stubborn drive to war is leadership.
"Size of protest — it's like deciding, well, I'm going to decide policy based upon a focus group," Mr. Bush said in response to a reporter's question at the White House. "The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security, in this case, the security of the people."
It is not. Leaders inspire people to follow them. Leaders convince people that they are taking the right course. Leaders convince others to work towards a common goal, willingly, enthusiastically. Bush simply goes where he wishes, and expects the rest of us to follow, or be labeled anti-American. Bush thinks leadership is an entitlement, as if it was handed to him on Dec 12th, 2000 along with the Presidency. Bush thinks we should go when ordered, not when convinced.
Americans are not dogs. We do not come when our "master" calls Real leaders recognize that. Bush does not.
UPDATE: Had Dec 12th, 2002 instead of Dec 12th 2000. Thanks to Barry for catching the mistake.
Woof! Woof! Dubya says we need t'fight! Let's fight!
I truly hate this man. Even at their worst, I didn't hate Reagan and Poppy. This one, I hate.

Every four years, we hold extended interviews to decide whom we'll hire on a contract basis to run the machinery for us for the next four years.
