"Jim" wrote in message ... NY Times October 17, 2004 IN THE MAGAZINE Without a Doubt By RON SUSKIND Bruce Bartlett, a domestic policy adviser to Ronald Reagan and a treasury official for the first President Bush, told me recently that ''if Bush wins, there will be a civil war in the Republican Party starting on Nov. 3.'' The nature of that conflict, as Bartlett sees it? Essentially, the same as the one raging across much of the world: a battle between modernists and fundamentalists, pragmatists and true believers, reason and religion. ''Just in the past few months,'' Bartlett said, ''I think a light has gone off for people who've spent time up close to Bush: that this instinct he's always talking about is this sort of weird, Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do.'' Bartlett, a 53-year-old columnist and self-described libertarian Republican who has lately been a champion for traditional Republicans concerned about Bush's governance, went on to say: ''This is why George W. Bush is so clear-eyed about Al Qaeda and the Islamic fundamentalist enemy. He believes you have to kill them all. They can't be persuaded, that they're extremists, driven by a dark vision. He understands them, because he's just like them. . . . Having an absolute conviction that religious fanatics or fanatics by any definition are a serious threat to civilization is not a stretch of logic. To have the evidence of over a 1000 years of history and the latest event 9/11 and even doves are convinced that they need to be eliminated. Of the 20 prisoners captured in Afghanistan and released from jail (under pressure from civil rights advocates) 9 have kidnapped, killed or blown up people as they have gone back to their old ways. If I started defending serial killers and advocating release as they have had their civil rights denied people would think I was nuts. BUT that's what these Fanatics a SERIAL KILLERS that are SMART, WARPED, INSANE and PSYCHOPATHS. But much worse they have an appeal to the disenfranchised. |
