Wolfgang, I think that's childish as well, although 'Bushites' would seemingly indicate 'followers of Bush', and so a legitimate use. Teribus' 'I'm in a denim jacket', etc., is so far removed from the man's actual name that it isn't even recognizable, which is why I found it even more annoying than such things as 'Bu-Shites'. Personally, I think sticking cutesy names on powerful and sometimes evil people is a mistake, as it tends to make them seem cartoonish, and thus less powerful, which may be a small comfort to some, but to some extent masks the ugly reality. That's just my opinion. YMMV.

Teribus, you are correct; I should have stipulated 'in the Middle East'. I am aware that many of those deaths have been caused by other Mid-Easterners.

But if you think the US does not threaten Iran, you are deluded. The US may not have directly declared war, but they rumble menacingly close, as you well know, and as Iran well knows. The bellicosity of the US government is famous; it is obvious that they will pour more of their resources into war machines than into any other enterprise, even at the risk of destroying themselves.
