Subtlties and iniquities...

There's a subtle difference between being a world leader and being a demagogue. As a demagogue George W. Bush is outstanding. He utilizes the media and popular culture to sway the population of the USA over to his view of the world (or rather, Dick Cheney's view of the world). Now he's turing over a new leaf, recognizing that the population of the USA will not stand for sacrificing all of their sons to conquer the desolation of the desert nations for the sake of ensuring a sustained supply of petroleum to fuel the economy that keeps the powerful in power, W has begun a systematic campaign to change world opinion of the USA. Subtle but not at the same time.... How many out there think he'll be successful in this effort and how many think this will serve only to widen the gap between those on the side of the US patriocracy and the rest of the world?
