Broken Hallelujah

I couldn't be in politics. I don't have the thick skin for it. It's a little wimpy but I can't even read that Seymour Hersch New Yorker piece without crying. It's a long article, but here's what got me in the solar plexus:

A government consultant with close ties to the civilian leadership in the Pentagon said that Bush was "absolutely convinced that Iran is going to get the bomb" if it is not stopped. He said that the President believes that he must do "what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do," and "that saving Iran is going to be his legacy."

And that's just for starters. We know Bush is a stooge, but he has a messianic vision and that vision makes him extremely dangerous.
