"One cannot but be struck by the almost cookie-cutter mold"
"from which the most destructive cult leaders tend to come and the similar power-hungry, unethical, immoral choices they make, unleashing their perversions on their followers and creating doctrines to justify such abusive behavior."

Guess who this is about?

But it sounded so much like any totalitarian leader whether he be religious or political, or BOTH as in Bush's case.

as in "the doctrine of Premptive wars"
and "It's only torture if it amounts to organ failure"...

Jones’s group originated with him, while Koresh took over a previously formed rather complacent group from the leadership of an older woman whom he seduced. Through the use of mind-control techniques, he then revitalized the group’s energy by creating the now-familiar dynamics of elitism and end-time fantasies. Koresh claimed an adolescent girl as a wife, moving on to bigamy, then to polygamy, and, again reminiscent of Jones, ultimately declaring the marriages of his followers a sin and all women as his.

You might be hitting on something here.

10. bush is asexual?
i think that`s the term. he`s not a sexual person. power and moral corruption is his sexual release.
