Actually, I was watching a summary of the movie 'Grizzly Man'. The profile of Tim Treadwell was that of a man who saved himself from alcoholism and self-destruction by believing in bears. He romanticised them and appeared to overlook their dangerous nature.
IMO, Bush saved himself from a similar situation. He appears to be a 'true believer'. Some of his actions appear to blur the lines between church and state. His belief may have impaired his judgement in failing to recognize the danger of even the slightest move towards a theocratic government in the United States, as long as the theocracy involved is one with which he agrees.
His use of the word 'crusade' was not an accident, or a nod to his base. It was a reflection of his thinking.
