Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov believed he could justify the murder of Alyona Ivanova simply because she was in fact a no goodnik. He came to this conclusion before he committed the heinous crime. What he hadn't counted on was the untimely arrival of her somewhat simple minded sister Lizeta. After she had walked into the room to discover the criminal hunched over the bloody body of her sister, Rodya turned his axe on her.
George W. Bush believed that he could justify the removal of Saddam Hussein because he too was a no goodnik. He pitched his case for justification to the nation and the world before he committed the act. The problem for Mr. Bush was that instead of one innocent bystander, many thousands of innocents would die because of his blunder.
Rodya eventually confessed to his crime and was sent off to a frigid prison in Siberia.
The price George W. Bush will pay has yet to be determined. My guess is that a legacy of immense incompetence will be his for as long as history books are written.
