Cheney...Wolfowitz...Rumsfield...Perle, etc. (Perle's on the team too, eventhough he isn't in the cabinet.)
I think Bush is being manipulated by the aforementioned people and the business interests they represent. These guys are not just businessmen. They seem to be real ideologues supercharged with the idea that since they brought down the evil empire of Soviet communism, it's now time to redesign the Middle East into their image and likeness.
