I'm guessing this does not come from a reliable source.

Anyhow, Bush is an asshole but we all know that, and truthfully we're getting tired of hearing about it. I've got family who've done jailtime, does that condemn my future grandkids, 2 generations down the line? Some things in life are genetic/hereditary, some aren't. In a few years, this whole thing will all be over, and may this serve as a lesson if the US wants to preserve its dominance over the rest of the world. You can't blame Bush for taking advantage of an asleep population, shiiiit, I would've done the same to serve my personal agenda. I must say I'd be curious to find out what's in that book though, cliff notes anybody?
