Hi JohnM; Re: "There is a long post about the "great man theory of history" which is what I think lies behind your views at the moment. I don't think Bush has that in him; nor do I think that gets us from here to there." Yes, I think he was saying that 9/11 was a moment of sudden transformation of Bush, though I haven't looked around for the post. Churchill was a great man long before WW2. War doesn't transform "morons" into geniuses. What it does is focus the wishes of the people in such a way as to unify them behind whatever leader was there, and that means that they tend to idolize him a bit. -- Carl
