This op ed article in today's NYT offers an interesting "analysis" and parallel between Woodrow Wilson after WWI and Bush. Money Quote:
Wilson, Freud wrote, “repeatedly declared that mere facts had no significance for him.” “Noble intentions” were what counted. Thus, while Wilson came to France intent on bringing a “just and lasting peace” to Europe, he “put himself in the deplorable position of the benefactor who wishes to restore the eyesight of a patient but does not know the construction of the eye and has neglected to learn the necessary methods of operation.”

And Bush has nowhere near the intellect that Woodrow Wilson, former president of Princeton, had. He is clearly just a stubborn fool who has now desperately convinced himself he is in the line of Lincoln and Truman, presidents who stood fast in the face of adversity, only to be proved "right" by history.
