It's the cocaine
The cocaine abuse of our leaders is at the root of America's arrogance.

An older hippie once said to me "yeah it was pretty cool for awhile around 75 or 76, people used to share a joint and pass it around the party. Then cocaine came in and people went off in their private cliques."

I charge that the greed and arrogance is a result of the personal addictions of our leaders. The addiction is what allows them to overlook truth and see what they want to see. The addiction is making them blind.

2. Maybe So, Maybe Not
I don't know if your theory is right or not but its my understanding that old Bushie-boy isn't all that averse to a little snort now and then.

4. Don't know. It's not the pot though
People high on pot are usually more sociable and sympathetic to others. Bush and those like him are obviously not pot addicts.
