If you don't think Bush and the attitudes of his supporters have a lot to do with the current state of the UN, you're even more naive than I had thought.

It's called "starve the beast". Also the attitude of his true-believer supporters towards government in general. (Not that under Bush and the power-drunk Congress, much (in fact any) progress has been made towards this conservative goal.)

Oh yes, they're the great hypocrites
Pretending that they're doing good
Their need is such--they pretend too much...


But somehow, I think the electorate can tell.
