A Scourge For All Seasons

Mr. Bush has rejected a bill from Congress which would ban waterboarding. Mr. Bush believes in God and Torture. Perhaps he has talked to a greater father again about this? Perhaps he has talked to Pazuzu, the father of Pain? Lord of the Flies? Gods of X universes of battle and torture? What history will contain you, Mr. Bush? You are greater than any mere presidential library. You are a Scourge for All Seasons.

Pazuzu (Archaeologists believe that the statue portrays Pazuzu in his "Howdy, folks!" attitude. I believe it is his "Hi, Mr. President" posture, as well as his "Ya'll come back and bring Pastor John Hagee with ya!" persona.)

{Philosophical Aside: Prophetic imagery in human consciousness. Pazuzu was the demon in The Exorcist. His idol was located in southern Mesopotamia, or Iraq. I know the thesis of From Caligari To Hitler has been attacked recently, BUT the imagery of the mind is not only Present data; it is Memorious of the Past and Prescient of the Future. Each image comes with the actual "am" or "is" and also the potentials: "was, were" and "will be". Our demons and angels are past, present, and future and we are aware of it, but often will not admit it.}
