I watched the film a couple of weeks back and two things really stick with me. Bush and his dad own shares in United Defense, a major defencse contractor. So, they are currently profiting from this war, just as they did the first Gulf war.
The senior Bush still gets daily intelligence briefings, but meets often with the Bin Laden family and their representatives because of MUTUAL business interests. Scary.
Keep in mind, the typical American is not a truly political being. In my experience, Europeans are much more politically aware than we are of day to day politics. We only become interested when we realize our government is out of control. Which of course happens when you don't pay attention to the day to day actions of your representatives.

I hope so too.
I genuinely found Bush terrifying, more so than Saddham Hussein. This is, afterall, supposedly the most powerful man alive. Aside from the good reasons you've already given, I was shocked at his general mental / intellectual reasoning and decision-making ability. For instance, watching him arrive at the school and sit there reading some preschool book, whilst planes tore apart america, was surreal (so too thought his contingent, watching him all the while.) He is clearly a scheming, mentally-degenerative, tallentless man controlled by 1.4 billion dollars worth of greed (and his father).
