Traditionally, war has been hard on our leaders.
Lincoln and Wilson looked like cadavers. Jovial FDR was somber during the war years. Johnson looked like shit-- aged prematurely by an unpopular war that drove him from office. Even Nixon, who was born looking like shit, suffered.
Then there's Dubya and his cronies: laughing, joking--dancing on TV while young men have their legs blown off, singing while innocents scream in terror.
George W. Bush's incredible ignorance has become a national joke. The world is full of fools.
I find his shallowness as a human being to be more disturbing.

I was browsing the internet the other day and came across an ad for a free IQ test. The ad featured a photo of Dubya and had a caption that went something like "His IQ was 125. What's yours?" Of course, that doesn't mean he ever read a book.
