There's a difference. Bush has let it be reported several times that he
supposedly wakes up every morning "wondering if today will be the day."
That kind of melodrama was obviously invented by his staffers for public
consumption, just as the "Axis of Evil" was created by a marketing speech
writer.
But neither Blair nor Bush have this thought each morning, and only a moment
of reflection will show you so.
We all know it's inevitable that al Qaeda will strike again, but how many of
us "wake up every morning wondering if today will be the day"? Unless one is
seriously paranoid, it's just not human nature to dwell on such a fear.
