    Without hesitation

    Bush has made it amply clear that he doesn't regard ANYONE else as a human being. He's a classic sociopath. Giving the finger to the world is exactly the kind of thing he'd enjoy doing.

    It's a pity that he'll go to his grave smugly convinced of his own wonderfulness, secure in the "knowledge" that history will pronounce him the greatest President of all time. The real irony is that he has greatly increased the chance that their won't BE a history; our species may not survive the long-term effects of the damage that Bush/Cheney have done.
