I believe his sincerity is genuine, just that the effects of his acts don't seem to register. In the parts of the books that I read into the wee hours, I was baffled by his what I can only describe as "cavalier attitude". When he talks about failing to find WMD's he comes across as if, "oh, well, we needed to get rid of Saddam anyhow". Not with, oh my god, what have I done. I have destabilized the region, sent a few thousand Americans to their deaths and countless more to hospitals and cost the tax payers billions of dollars all because the rumors were wrong. It's like he just doesn't see that he was wrong or realize the consequences of his actions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343193422030740142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919558706980848092.post-55754297740045426202010-11-10T08:49:32.099-08:002010-11-10T08:49:32.099-08:00You know...

Bush was not really stupid - that he was only PRETENDING to be that way to acquire people's trust. <br /><br />First of all, I don't know about anyone else, but stupid people never inspire much trust in me, because I always expect them to screw up. So I don't think "pretending" to be stupid would be very helpful. Second, if he was pretending - wow, he is one HELL of an actor!Maria K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11406744469222535666noreply@blogger.com
