Silly Presidents And Their Magical Thinking

On June 22, 2004, President Bush said:
"The values of our country are such that torture is not part of our soul - our being."
It's funny, the way he said it made me think of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Columbia two weeks ago:

"In Iran, we don't have homosexuals, like in your country - we don't have that in our country."

Both men would prefer that their statements were true, but they know, perhaps better than anyone, that they aren't. Maybe convincing us is almost as good as making it a reality.

Of course, the sad part is Ahmadinejad is busy doing all (the executions) that he can to make his fantasy a reality, while Bush would veto any attempt to make his own dream come true.

I guess our President is more of a dreamer. :)
