Bush's reading tastes are moving ever rightward and apocalyptic.

Recently he read "A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900” by British historian Andrew Roberts, who calls himself "extremely right-wing.” Bush sent a copy to Tony Blair. Cheney took a copy with him on his recent trip to Pakistan.

Roberts urges Bush to fight "the Manichean world-historical struggle" against fascism, of which "Totalitarian Islamic Terrorist Fascism" is only the latest example. He says, "the steady drumbeat of media pessimism and television coverage are sapping the West's will to defeat Iran and Sunni radicals such as al Qaeda.” He says that if any troops are pulled out of Iraq, the result will be disastrous.

( Ironically, “Manichaeism” originated with the Persian prophet Mani. It sees the world in strictly black-and-white / good versus evil terms. --AZ )

Bush has also recommended that his staff and friends read "America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It” by Canadian Ziocon Mark Steyn, who warns of the coming "Eupocalypse", the "recolonization of Europe by Islam", the emergence of "Eurabia", and the onset of a "new Dark Ages" in which the United States will find it difficult to survive as the "lonely candle of liberty."

Steyn (a Zionist Jew) sees all of Islam as a threat that cannot be reconciled with "free societies". His book urges Bush to "end the Iranian regime" and "strike militarily when the opportunity presents itself."

Zioncons lavishly promote both books. These include the Wall Street Journal's editorial page and various publications owned by Rupert Murdoch, Conrad Black (Zionist Jew) and Canada's Asper family, all of which share a deep affinity for Israel's Likud Party.

In the summer of 2002, Bush read "Supreme Command" by ultra-Zionist Jew (and recently appointed State Department counselor) Eliot Cohen, who says that civilian leaders usually have a much better military sense than do generals and military professionals.

In 2004, Bush read Natan Sharansky's "The Case for Democracy," which said all Arab countries must be attacked. Bush was so taken with it that he summoned Sharansky for a White House tete-a-tete, and made the book required reading for his senior foreign policy aides. He incorporated its ideas -- in some cases, word for word -- into his 2005 inaugural address.

Also in 2004, Bush read Robert Kaplan's "Imperial Grunts: The American Military on the Ground", which described the entire world as “Injun country” that U.S. troops have a righteous mission to “civilize,” as they did to the American Indian.

All these books proclaim the beneficence of U.S. / Israeli power, which they say must be applied even if the "natives" are ungrateful. They say Muslims are motivated by a fundamental "loathing of the English-speaking people's traditions of democratic pluralism.” They say Bush must become a courageous leader and fulfill his destiny, regardless of what taxpayers think.
