Would Bush make a good internet entrepreneur?
He's very enthusiastic ... he doesn't seem to know how to quit and he's full of unflappable vision and determined to see his vision through to the bitter end no matter how many billions of people try to dissuade him. And he keeps in constant contact with the folks around him which if you read, "How Not To Die" you know is a critical variable in eventual success.

His current pursuit cannot succeed, unless his real goal is to keep the America continuously involved in war to generate money for private corporations. It's just sad that American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians are paying with their lives. On a scale of absolute evil, it puts Bush only a single order of magnitude below Hitler and Stalin.
As a result of Bush's actions, at least 75,000 died in Iraq and it's 650,000 as of July 2006 if you think the statistical study done by Johns Hopkins is accurate. I haven't read their study so I can't comment on their methodology but I am sure that the 75,000 number is underreporting the deaths in Iraq.
Probably the number is somewhere in between. Let's go with 300,000 and let's say Hitler/Stalin level evil is 30,000,000 deaths. That's two orders of magnitude. It would be closer to three if you distributed the blame for the war across the entire Project for the New American Century.
