…a circumspect and chagrined
George W actually acknowledging the folly of some of his brash and reckless
behaviour… It didn’t appear to me that Bush
was circumspect that his policy of and means to war was wrong, he only seemed
to be sorry that his tactics had backfired, fueling the insurgents and killing
more innocents as a consequence. It was, however, a remarkable event
for this man to express any hint of error on the job. Bush’s inclination to
believe that he was destined by God to be in the White House and that this war
was ‘inevitable’ and ‘unavoidable’ has generated a sense of infallibility that
is dangerous and contagious in groups especially when there is a sense of
threat. As long as the ‘politics of fear’
is allowed to continue, we will slide further down that slippery slope. Politicians are losing their careers,
soldiers and innocent civilians have lost their lives in a whirlwind of lies
and deceit. Karen |
