Philip Atkinson of something called the "The Family Security Foundation" is admirably clear about what he and his comrades want. His comrades, alarmed at this unfortunate clarity, have been trying to scrub his words from the nets. But [link|http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2007/08/hail-caesar-by-digby-ive-been-getting.html|Digby has preserved them].

The wisest course would have been for President Bush to use his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead.....

By elevating popular fancy over truth, Democracy is clearly an enemy of not just truth, but duty and justice, which makes it the worst form of government. President Bush must overcome not just the situation in Iraq, but democratic government....

Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world?
