Bush as Boromir
Boromir, a member of the Fellowship, saw himself as the good guy, and couldn't comprehend why nobody else wanted to use the Ring to defeat evil. It held immense power; they had it in their hands; they faced an enemy who was infinitely evil; and they were supposed to refrain from using it just because they would be corrupted by it? Come on!
Bush is similarly blind when it comes to the consequences of using power. We're the good guys, hence nothing we do can be evil.
