We draw our own conclusions

Lynne Olson wrote a book, "Troublesome Young Men", about the group of British Conservatives who eventually forced Chamberlain to resign and be replaced with Churchill. In Sunday's Washington Post she had a piece about the similarities between Bush and Chamberlain, keying off the assumption that Bush believes himself to be another Churchill. Consider these similarities between Chamberlain and Bush:

• Both came to office with little, if any, foreign affairs knowledge or experience dealing with international leaders, yet believed that he alone could bring tyrants to heel.
• Both were unilateralists, believing alliances would only hamper them.
• Both claimed to be the 'decider' and did not have to discuss things with the legislature.
• Both authorized wiretapping of their citizens.
