When Bush offered $15 Million to aid the victims of the Tsunami, I
realized that he was acting like a man who wants to be a made man of a criminal enterprise, trying to show how callous and cruel he can be.In the circles in which he is trying to earn his credentials,any show of empathy for the poor, the victmized and the "others" earns you contempt;he learned this as the Governor of Texas when he executed the mentally incompetent and the poor,when he publicly ignored the lynching of James Byrd.

I think as America gets more and more brutalized, it is now possible to think that our policies are made by the likes of Ann Coulter, who said we should just invade their countries, take their oil, kill all their men and convert the rest to Christianity.The days when we thought she was a right wing kook who was out there for her fifteen minutes of fame are gone.

2. You are right.There is a large constituency that wants to just "kill"
the others and plunder their oil or whatever else they may have. Bush certainly has tapped into the fears and greed of that mass of people.
