Even people as left wing as Jon Stewart buy some of Bush’ nuttier ideas that he proposed to defend his illegal invasion of Iraq, such as:

• It is self defence to kill someone you think they might own a weapon, even if they don’t use it against you or point it at you and you have never seen it.
• It is self defence to kill someone if you think they might be considering buying a weapon.

What could persuade a normally sane person like Jon Stewart to fall for such crazy talk? Patriotism! Jon Stewart, like most other Americans, can’t stand the idea of his country behaving badly, so he joins in Bush’s delusions that allow him to deny the evil.
