My friend Matt at A Pilgrim’s digression does a good job probing what is revealed about President George W Bush in his recent interviews with ABC News’s Elizabeth Vargas.  He rightfully condemns the US for relying too much on our ideologies than an openness to learning about the facts of our situation and characterizes Bush as particularly relying on
