Weren't we told it was the terrorists who hated our freedom and democracy? I'm right on that aren't I? Then maybe you can imagine my reaction to this.
According to some of W's biggest fans, the charming folks known as Family Security Matters, it is time for a dictator. If everyone would just roll over on the whole annoying "democratically elected" thingy, The Vacationer In Chief could clear the path to the Garden of Eden - quite literally:
"If President Bush copied Julius Caesar by ordering his army to empty Iraq of Arabs and repopulate the country with Americans, he would achieve immediate results: popularity with his military; enrichment of America by converting an Arabian Iraq into an American Iraq (therefore turning it from a liability to an asset); and boost American prestiege(sic) while terrifying American enemies."
Then there's this:
"President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president” Bush or he can become “President-for-Life” Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world?"
Surprisingly, the author, Philip Atkinson, did not end his article with "Bwa-ha-ha-haaa!"
Sounds a little:
Don't you think?
Surely these Legion-Of-Doom-like plans for global domination are so absurd that they must come from some lunatic fringe group.
Um, not exactly.
