Actually (and I would add unlimited wealth AND POWER to the quote), this sounds like Bush and crew. He is using the office of the Presidency to attempt to build a dictatorship. And he has been a weapon of mass destruction to this nation.
But Snark your post brings up another thing that I find despicable about the way conservatives and fundamentalists have USED the events on 9/11. The effort to paint ALL members of a particular religion with the terrorist brush.
It is an opinion lacking in any sort of REAL back-up. And YES, the fundamentalists in this country start to look a lot like the fundamentalists in other countries.
