Bush's moral corruption

The deadline for the constitution for Iraq is MOnday midnight. The report is that Sunni demand will be sidelined to meet that goal--under the pressure from Bush administration. It is pretty amusing to see how the administration is downplaying its goals in Iraq of a full-fledged, prospering democracy so that they can claim "victory" and wimp out like a dog with its tail between its legs. There were many people who could have told this administration and neocons that democracy does not come from a graft but have to be rooted from cultural trnasformation. Apparently noone in the hawkish administration have learned anything about the cultural component of democracy. The price is misery to the world. But that is not all, Krugman in his opinion piece today aptly summarized Bush's agenda and approach to his governance:

"But the campaign for privatization provided an object lesson in how the administration sells its policies: by misrepresenting its goals, lying about the facts and abusing its control of government agencies. These were the same tactics used to sell both tax cuts and the Iraq war."

Was he successful in anything he attempted in his life? NO! Why would he be successful in being a president? But there is a deeper forces at work. American people are as much to blame for reelecting Bush. Being ignorant and arrogant, not using their good judgement about the lies being fed to them, taking for granted that the world had to tow to the American policy... Leadership is only a reflection of the people. Leadership is one of the most important components in a country's standings and course. Bad leadership--defined by ignorance, out of touch with reality, full of deception, unconcern for the people--world over had led those countries to their misery. Thanks to Bush and his hawkish cohorts, USA now joins that corrupt deceitful world of morally deprived leadership.
