The Madness of King George W and Don Quixote

Having recently read the newest English translation (by Edith Grossman) of Cervantes' classic Don Quixote, I cannot help but identify parallels between the character of Don Quixote and that of George W. Bush. Both men are stricken with madness - Quixote suffers under the madness of chivalry, while George W. Bush lives under the madness of an alternate, faith-based reality. Quixote, after reading scores of books on knights errant, decides that he himself is living in a mystical world like those described in his books - he attempts to create his own reality based on these beliefs, recruiting a trusty squire, Sancho Panza, and dedicating his exploits to his maiden, Dulcinea of Toboso, whom he does not really know personally. GW Bush, in a similar vein, attempts to create his own reality, whether it be on rationale for war, or the view of our occupation in Iraq, or the economy, or stem cells. The views of GW Bush are quite clearly more founded on faith than facts. Like Don Quixote charging the windmill that he perceived as a terrible giant, GW Bush rushed into Iraq, attacking the terrible threat that turned out not to hold such danger at the time, but is becoming more and more of a threat every day.
Don Quixote, however, lived in a world where those around him could easily tell that he was mad. Sancho Panza would try to advise his so-call knight that he was about to do something unwise. When Don Quixote encounters a duke and duchess, they take joy in playing games with Don Quixote, teasing him for his chivalrous fantasies and visions of the world.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, we have lost the ability to tell reality from fantasy. GW Bush is surrounded by advisors and fellow countrymen who suffer the same madness that he does. Where are the reality-based people to stand up and call the exploits of GW Bush as madness?! Those who might see the fantasy world that GW Bush lives in as false? A world where human influenced climate change doesn't happen, where evolution takes a back seat to the fantasy of Genesis, where mercury pollution is safe, where oil consumption is encouraged over conservation, where the will of big money trumps the will of the common man, where the embryo is more greatly protected than the men and women in our armed forces.
In Don Quixote, at least the protagonist woke up from his fantasy at the end of the novel, apologizing for his mistaken ways. Would GW Bush ever have such a revelation in his lifetime?
