Religious dogma can't "compete" with anything, but I don't think that  
was your main point, so I won't waste any more time on it.

I'm basing my assumptions (and I made it clear that they were  
assumptions by use of phrases like "it seems to me" and "I suspect")  
on appearances and circumstantial evidence.

That that wasn't my entire argument, just the one little snippet that  
I could be bothered dashing off about a facet of the comparison  
between the two nutjobs that is certainly true, very likely to have a  
strong influence on the behaviour of both and what hadn't been  
mentioned in the thread so far.

The conjecture about Bush's fanaticism, *is* conjecture, but its  
hardly unreasonable. His stance and behaviour invites such  
conjecture. If he doesn't want thinking individuals to consider him  
to be such a maniac, he should desist from reinforcing the impression  
that he is one.

Most of what others have written to the effect that Bush is nowhere  
near as bad as Ahmadinejad may be concisely explained by their social  
contexts. Its only a small step from there (granted, its  
hypothetical), to assume, that in effect, they are two chips from the  
same block. Everything points to this being close to the truth.

As you astutely point out (though I doubt there are many here who  
hadn't figured it out for themselves - I know I had), we'd need to  
get inside their respective heads to be really sure.

So, eh, back to thread ?

Mark.
