President Bush books

A neat NYTimes Book Review of two books on the Bush presidency. Here's a quote from the review, which contains a quote from Dead Certain.

Vice President Dick Cheney is trying to persuade Dick Armey, the Republican House majority leader, who was skeptical about a war on Iraq, in a private meeting in September 2002: “We have great information. They’re going to welcome us. It’ll be like the American Army going through the streets of Paris. They’re sitting there ready to form a new government. The people will be so happy with their freedoms that we’ll probably back ourselves out of there within a month or two.”

The Christian Right

A thorough and interesting article about the Christian right's decline of political power. Thoroughly reported in the pages of the NYTimes Magazine.
