I don't think Brown is DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths, I think his lackidasical attitude towards mobilizing the resources necessary to amerliorate a clearly horrible situation could've been handled with far more acumen, and it would've minimized the suffering 1000-fold had he done so. . . .possibly even the number of deaths as well. . . in so far as the Bush croniyism issues go, I don't know if you guys have read In Praise of Nepotism by Adam Bellow, but it's rife in ANY political arena, and it USUALLY works to the voters benefit, but when the vast majority of your cronies are intellectual rejects, we end up getting the short end. . .
Too true. There are two kinds of rich kids: the ones that strive to follow in their fathers footsteps with hard work and then the ones like W that just get the silver spoon, do drugs, have fun, and could care less about wtf they do with their lives.
Personally I think he used religion simply for the vote, I have a hard time believing that Bush actually believes in what he preaches. We are supposed to have separation of church and state yet we have Bush's religious agenda affecting so many decisions! Sorry for the off topic rant.
