Bush A Strong Leader?

During the last Presidential campaign Bush and others made claims to being a strong leader (and Kerry wasn't) and I listed those things that made Bush the leader that he is.

1. Bush is a strong leader because he doesn't change his mind once it has been made up. Could be that is because he can only grasp one idea at a time.

2. He is a strong leader because he made up his mind in the first place (while reading " My Pet Goat"?)

3. He is a strong leader because he waged war on Afghanistan and Iraq--both conflicts unresolved and getting worse.

4. He is a strong leader because he appeals to only half of the populace and totally alienates the other half.

5. Is a "strong leader" universally a good thing? Weren't Stalin, Hitler, Tojo, Saddam Hussein also considered "strong leaders"?

6. Does a strong leader have to resort to unethical propaganda ploys in order to control public opinion?

7. Does a strong leadeer govern behind closed doors, answers to no one, and tries to "rule" instead of lead?
