hubris kills

ever since the oedipus days, leaders have fallen because of their hubris (i.e. arrogance). our current national leader, george bush, has demonstrated extreme arrogance thoughout his term, and i'm certain he will pay for it one day. and that one day might been soon given this current "i am allowed to spy on you without a warrant talk". anyone who has taken a US history class knows that this is not true.

congress recognized the need for spying and setup a court which could convene on a moments notice and give a search warrant when the executive branch needed one. this court has been used many thousands of times and has disallowed only 4 petitiions. still, bush decided he didn't need approval from anyone.

i really believe he should be impeached for abuse of power. this arrogance is appalling.

other gross examples of arrogance

• lying to the american people about weapons of mass destruction
• interpreting intelligence to meet a prejudged goal
• being absurdly optimistic about how badly the war is going. ostrich behavior.
• refusing to sign the kyoto protocol which was apparently good enough for every other nation but us. as if we have some god given right to pollute this earth.
• ridiculing france with "freedom fries" renaming when all they did was object to a very questionnable war.
