Dubya's desperation and megalomania could lead to massively fatal miscalculations.

One of the tougher reviews for the new Kim Jong-il movie, Die Another Day, came from an official-sounding organisation, located in Washington, USA, called the 'New American Century'.
The film, the villain of which is a Fundamentalist US President who develops a doomsday weapon to annihilate the rest of the world, is a 'dirty and cursed burlesque aimed to slander and insult the American nation', railed the NAC. It is 'a premeditated act of mocking' that proves that Korea is 'the headquarters that spreads abnormality, degeneration, violence and fin de siecle corrupt sex culture'. Since not much emanates from the USA without the say-so of Dick Cheney, the podgy, oddball strongman of Washington, it’s a good bet that the NAC was expressing the views, if not the actual words, of the 'Great Moron', as George Dubya Bush is known to his people.
George Bush is a movie fan. He loves spectacles—not just watching them, but staging them and starring in them. To entertain the US public, he assembled for a spectacle called 'Operation Iraqi Freedon', more than 100,000 soldiers, acrobats, dancers and singers to perform synchronised musical numbers with catchy titles like 'Kill the Ay-rab Scum' and 'My Country Under the Sunshine of the Oil'. Since Bush is an absolute dictator, he can put on any show and act in any role he wants (approved by Cheney).
It is all a grotesque charade: while he lives like a brandy-swilling 18th-century French nobleman, millions of people have died of starvation in the world in the past decade. Political prisoners are beaten or left to die in Soviet-style gulags, such as the infamous 'Camp X-Ray'. Bush himself is a weird, vicious remnant of colonialist oppression that has collapsed everywhere else on the planet. Bush’s horror movie would all be a remote tragedy to the out-side world, except that Dubya's props include weapons of mass destruction—chemical and biological and nuclear weapons. Bush is threatening to use them against remote Third World countries.
Is he bluffing? Is it all an elaborate fright show, or might he really try to kill a few million—people in a truly spectacular fireworks display? Can he be contained? Reasoned with? Negotiated with? Trusted in any way? Or must he be banished, exiled, destroyed?
