Raymond > Hitler was the man that Germans wanted. Did that make him a good choice?

Who am I to say?

But George W Bush appears to have the particular quality which it is said the American people admire most in their leader.

>>> H.L. Mencken said, "The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth."

Or Samuel Butler, who said, "Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well."

And Plato, who said, "The rulers of the state are the only ones who should have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad; they may be allowed to lie for the good of the state." <<<
