Oh ye of little faith!  Here's what I think is the best explanation of the
mindset that allows W to ignore the recommendations of people who know far
more than he does as he leads us all to hell.

Once you know this, you can appreciate what Bush means when he calls
himself The Decider. It means that evidence, arguments, proof and logic
cannot be conclusive when, as is often the case, the president proceeds on
what can be called a matter of faith. I am not referring here just to
religion -- although surely that is paramount to Bush -- but to supremely
secular matters of state: when to go to war, why go to war and when to
remain at war. In Bush's mind, the bad guys will lose and the good guys
will win and Iraq will become a democracy. This will happen not because
Bush can prove that it will but because nobody can prove it won't.
