I like Star Wars way too much. Here is the pattern I am seeing/hearing. George W. Bush is Luke Skywalker. George H.W. Bush is Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Daddy Bush had been working long and hard behind the scenes in the American Empire, such as during his time as head of the CIA. The Emporer could be Prince Charles or the Queen of England, Sith Lords.

Now Dubya himself is still wrestling with both sides of the Force, and he probably thinks he is doing what is right. And through the machinations long in the works by his father, The Bush family will bring balance to the force.

In the Star Wars prequels, Yoda and Mace Windu both are aware that Anakin will be the one "to bring the Force into balance."

From Star Wars: The Force, the Tao and the Butterfly by Paul McDonald:

"Lucas himself admitted that Anakin is indeed the prophesied one, and he does bring balance to the Force when he saves Luke and destroys the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. But in chaos theory, one has to be fully immersed in the system in order to bring about a substantial change to it, meaning Anakin had to be turned to the dark side to transform it from within.

Chaos scholars often speak of "emergence," which is a form of turbulence, or a new pattern, coming forth from the edge of chaos. It exponentially resonates throughout the entire system, a third entity born of two opposing ones. Likewise in The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon speaks of a "vergence in the Force," clearly a parallel to the phenomenon discussed here. It was this "vergence" that brought about Anakin Skywalker.

In perfect congruence with the machinations of the Empire, in the end, Anakin acted as the sage and the amplification of his redemption offset the tyranny of the Emperor as well as destroyed the thousand year cycle of abuse of the Sith. Standing at the center, he became the butterfly, his actions guiding the progression of the entire galaxy. He did not simply turn from the dark side to the light, but rather transcended the dual reality of the Force altogether."

As I mentioned before, G. W. is a place-holder. In mathematics, a place-holder is used to hold the energy of a place while solutions are computed around it. And it is our reactions as humans to the problems Bush, Inc is creating that will determine the future of humanity.

"Anakin is almost like an upcoming brushfire for the Jedi Counci. The Council has become rather complacent and decadent, and thus lost its true intention as the guardians of truth and justice throughout the known galaxy.

Vader becomes a necessary evil, comparable to the brushfire that brings on rapid new growth in the wilderness."
