WHY BUSH IS LIKE MARCOS

Paul Krugman explains his analogy, made to Der Spiegel magazine. He doesn’t believe Bush is the “moral equivalent” of Marcos. He just thinks that “the Bush administration’s creation of a cult of personality, its obsessive secretiveness, its propensity for mass arrests, and its evident fondness for Big-Brotherish schemes of public surveillance are not the actions of men who have a deep respect for the democratic process.” Check it out. It must be hard sometimes being a “lone voice of truth in a sea of corruption.” But Krugman is pulling through.
