The picture on the right is an unforgettable image that captures the spirit of the Bush Age. The presence of a clock reminds the viewer that Armageddon is nigh, while Mr. Bush's expression is one of confusion, and the kind of calculations that can be derived from a black/white, 0/1 decision-making process.
Here is a picture of Osama bin Laden, taken roughly around the time of 9/11. Notice how he appears to be sitting in a tent, probably in the middle of nowhere.
This picture of Mr. Bush taken at the recent APEC Summit in Sydney, Australia, places him perfectly within his element. He stands alone, against a colorful and confusing backdrop. Judging from the smirk on his face, his calculations, political and military, must be working out right about the way that he wants them to.
Bin Laden, I would say has fared the best from the War on Terror. Not only has his production value gone up considerably, but he obviously has enough free time to take care of himself and properly dye his beard. Also, when he tells people to rebel against the government of a particular country, he is taken seriously.
