George W. Bush

Journalist Bob Woodward:

How do you think history will judge your Iraq war?

President George W. Bush:

History. We won’t know. We’ll all be dead.

As a flood spreads wider and wider

the water becomes shallower and dirtier.

The revolution evaporates,

and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.

The chains of tormented mankind

are made out of red tape.

—Franz Kafka
