Scott, I was especially amazed at the following quote:

"At one point, as he discussed the question of providing some of the money as a loan, Bush slammed his hand down on the table and said: 'This is bad policy.' When Collins tried to ask a question, the president replied: 'I'm not here to debate it.'"

He'd fit in well with the right wing posters here who think all they have to do is say something and everyone else ought to fall into line. It must be nice to have such a strong sense of rightness that you wouldn't feel the need to explain the reasoning of your positions. Of course that assumes that the old "it's my way or the highway" thinking actually works in a complex and multi cultural world. The Mideast and the world seem intent on giving us another reminder as we seem to never tire of relearning the lessons of history.
