A "leader" that always thinks he's right and refuses to hear the opinions of those that disagree with him is an IDIOT. PERIOD.
Let name some of these guys
Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Saddam. How's those empires doing now?

Well Castro is doing pretty fucking good, all things considering. I don't think he falls in that category though. The rest of your post is bang on.
Bush and his neo-cons are ideologues, pure and simple. There's no reason for them to learn anything new, because they already know everything. They just want people to tell them what they want to hear, so they can justify what they already know they're going to do. A good leader makes decisions, ideologues do not make good leaders. Ever.
