Bush is a servant of the New Right. Bin Laden, and now Zarkawi and Basaiev the Herod of Beslan could metaforically be said to be servants of Sauron. "There are jerarchies on evil as well as in sanctity", as Umberto Eco in "The name of the Rose" had one character say. Bush is tragically incompetent, probably corrupt, and I've no simpathy for him. But you cannot say he's the ultimate evil. By the way, the correct form is "We hate him". Now, you got me talking on this subject again. But the lacking in sense of proportions and the oblivion some people has of certain facts drive me to respond.
