I can't speak for Bush, but I can speak for myself. I despise no one. It's a 
bloody waste of time and would make me unhappy if I indulged in such 
pointless affects. Like everyone else, I work on the issues that concern me 
most---environmental issues, nuclear disarmament, finding alternatives to 
both fossil fuels and nuclear power---and I leave the other issues to people 
who have a passion for them. A concern with Islamic terrorism is just not one 
of my projects, just as developing a phobia about international Communism was 
never one of my projects. Sorry.
