Does history have a Bush analog?
Are there any other leaders in history that had Bush's traits?

Leaders who refused to listen to anything except what they wanted to hear?
Who were determined to ignore reality. surround themselves solely with 'yes' men and naively expected the world to progress exactly as they wished?

I'd like to know who and what happened.

2. Hitler comes to mind
the parallels with the isolation, drugs and fascist backing are disturbing indeed.
