Why didn't you post the whole paragraph? "By the cruellest of fates, the fanatics have no such problem. The contrast between their leadership and ours is embodied in the difference between Bush and Bin Laden. Bin Laden does not even have to speak. His icon so potently embodies his cause. The irony is that if children were asked to draw Christ, they would drawn Bin Laden - not just because of how he dresses, but for his whole demeanour. His is the look of Christ-like suffering, with all the intense sexual ambiguity that goes with it. He looks like someone who has suffered an earlier psychological wound. That look matches the fanatic's ideology; he looks like a victim, languidly feminine, but with his gun over his shoulder he viciously repudiates this femininity and embraces machismo. Against this we have Bush: dazed and confused, grasping at thoughts that refuse to form into meaningful words. This at a time when we need leadership to acknowledge our species shame and how to live with it. "
