Thorough overview of why it is The Pres never, ever backs down on any policy. I disagree that a war with Iran is likely during the next year; he'd need the absolute backing of the Republican members of Congress in many, many districts where that'd be political suicide. I'm not saying he hasn't come close to it in the past, and would do so, if he thought he could get away with it.

A very scary, and extremely accurate, observation of President George W. Bush's views and how he runs his administration. Greenwald sites many examples to defend his views. The book demonstrates how Bush has continuously used scare tactics while doing business from the White House on "behalf" of Americans. According to Greenwald, everything in Bush's view is "good" vs "evil." If someone or something isn't with us (Bush) then it is against us, therefore evil. It is scary how on target Greenwald's observations are. Good book, but gets boring at times. It could have been less wordy and still made the point quite well.
