Imagine you are Satan, Father of Lies, the Tempter, the Old Gentleman, the Archfiend. You are planning your biggest head-to-head with your former employer, the Almighty, since that discussion on the clifftop with ol' JC. You aim to bring the whole breadth of humanity to the edge of Armageddon. To marshall your demonic hordes in the battle between Darkness and Light you need an anti-Christ. You want your representative on Earth to be subtle, charismatic, seductive and, of course, devilishly clever. You want George W Bush. [Thanks to Hugh.]

What comical tripe. Net, lives have been saved by the Iraqi action, something like 40,000 if you use Saddam's 10-year average (and admittedly, there are a few murderous spikes in the data around '91). The infamous anonymous sources: “many Catholic leaders”, “people close to the pope”, then a quote from a speech against atheist communism applied to Bush? Thanks for the laugh.
What a sad day for Satanists everywhere. There they were, expecting a great leader who looks good in black leather. What do they get? A bloke who looks like a monkey but disappoints when it comes to intelligence.
