Well, George jr. is our leader, although of dubious legitimacy and too grossly inarticulate to successfully lead us anywhere, and much too venal and sleazy to deserve our following him, but to simply say that we should follow his lead, especially into his personal war, is to see Americans in the same situation as any people who have followed their leaders blindly and without a valid reason to do so. Tyrants and martinets love that sort of thing.
