The value of responsibility

In a campaign speech last week describing his "values" (and portraying anyone who disagrees with him as "outside the mainstream"), George W. Bush declared: "The culture of America is changing from one that has said 'If it feels good, do it, and if you've got a problem, blame somebody else' to a culture in which each of us understands we are responsible for the decisions we make in life."



Does this mean that he is getting ready to take responsibility for misleading America into invading Iraq? Given the fact that Bush has no known sense of irony whatsoever, that's probably way too much to expect. More likely the real goal is an Orwellian state of perpetual war that we're convinced is actually peace.



If people as far away as Beijing can see through his lies, why is this man still in office?
