Vanity Fair: War and Destiny

One of the things that most wants me to see the Bush administration unseated is their unmitigated hubris. Not only is it annoying, but it's a goddamn liability. There's a reason the greeks considered it a fatal flaw, and the Bible marks pride one of the seven deadlt sins: it'll mess you up good.

Sometimes though (oddly enough) I have trouble communicating exactly why the Bush administration is so hubristic. Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this blast from the past fits the bill nicely:

I think this pretty much sums it up. This issue is February 2003, meaning it hit the newsstands sometime in mid Jan, ahead of the protests and the war.
