On the eve of a US attack, I have a question for the readers: Who is more likeable- George Bush or that wacko President of Iran?

wacko President of Iran?

The 'wacko' label is based on what dataset?

Neither, and the presenting the problem as a choice between which personality is more likeable is just beyond dumb. Both these goofballs might just get their way and plunge us into what should have been an avoidable war. The tendancy of the bystanders (that's us) to get involved in team boosterism is of no benefit to us. Neither one of these meglomanic sociopaths has anybodies interest at heart except their own and their friends, don't get sucked into thinking that power players give a rats ass about you or yours.

Actually I think this is bluff and bluster time.

Actually I tried for a funny post and failed. I meant to say that both guys display a lot of similar personality traits (at least publicly). Sorry.
