Bush’s comment on Islamic “fascists” continues to tickle at my mind, and I’m not alone. Some of the characteristics of some kinds of fascism are there, but fundamental and very essential traits are also missing – the economic, the nationalistic.

Bush declares himself absolute ruler: It’s ‘my government’ August 8, 2006 6:28 AM Once again, President George W.
