Interesting read..'There is madmen out there, and there are terror,' said Bush summing up his foreign policy for the Associated Press in February last year. This syntactical absurdity was taken as a sign of paranoid myopia, lumped in with 'Bushism' jokes about 'Grecians'. Now, if he said it again, most Americans would salute his accuracy. In the blink of an eye, the man who could not name the President of Pakistan and had to be given tutoring in world affairs is to have his presidency defined by global conflict. The sharpest learning curve in the history of the US presidency has seen Bush mutate in days from a spoiled Harvard Fraternity brat elected to office under a pall of illegitimacy, into a figurehead who has Congress spellbound and the American people behind him, wherever he chooses to lead them next - even to the point of casualties in another long, distant war.
