In my view the appeal of George W.Bush lay largely in his simplistic view that found resonance with the American nation in 2000. He made himself ‘morally righteous’ ready to fight the ‘evil’ Jihadists. Come 2004 he had egregiously proved himself inept. He had let the underwriters of Taliban regime get away from the dragnet and lost control over Iraq. He was intent on running for office again. Perhaps the public memory is short to recall the endorsement purportedly credited to Osama Bin laden that tipped the scale in favor of Bush and much to the disadvantage of his rival Sen. John Kerry. Bush got what he wanted.
The cruel joke of the whole clash of values is in this simple truth: The Jihadists need George Bush to prove their point America is out to destroy Islam. The narrow non-intellectual right-winger Bush has no capacity to understand even a liberal let alone a Moslem. So America in choosing Bush for his values has let ‘a lie’ stick. Is it impossible to imagine? Inversion principle shows it is possible.
