An interesting distinction. Let's suppose-- difficult as it may be-- that W were intelligent. Let's suppose that he applies his intelligence in a deliberate attempt to bring about Armageddon. That would be conspiricy toward a stupid goal. Does that count as stupidity or as conspiricy?

Personally, I still find it more believable that he's just banging the control levers of the government at random, jug-eared-monkey-at-the-typewriter style. But then I've worked in government for years, so I have perhaps met more world-class idiots than you have -- as well as having poisoned my mind with a permanent case of cynicism.
