Well, I suppose that’s true. When you live in your own reality, you get to make up the answers that please you.

I actually hope Dubya lives a very, very long time. Nothing would please me more than to believe that he lived every single day for many, many years with the knowledge that he served two terms as president and accomplished absolutely nothing except to get thousands and thousands of people unnecessarily killed. I believe the whole “war on terror” bullcrap will be proven a waste of blood and treasure, and I’d really like for George W. Bush to know that’s how his presidency will be judged.

And, as always, finding out the facts would just confuse the issue at this point.
