The Matrix & G W Bush - This is bugging me

In the Matrix Reloaded (saw it last night), in the scene towards the end where Neo is talking to the Architect (old man with beard in room with TV walls). The Architect says something about the "grotesque nature of humanity" and various images flash onto the TV screens.

My friend says he say Hitler and Stalin on the TVs. I am sure I saw GW Bush right up there with them. Did anyone else see this?

If it wasn't there, it should have been.

Made me smile.

If that is true, it is kind of a cheap thing to do... Bush doesn't compare to Hitler, Stalin or any of those super-dictators.

Cheap does not exclude the fun part of it.

The TV screens flash ALOT of things. These three were just a few of the images.
Most images are just a reflection of our times. Themdirector brothers (too lazy to look up their names) just meant Bush's pic to be a part of that reflection, not to compare him with dictators, even though he has the classic traits. Sans the genocide, of course.

Yeah... the genocide thing is helpful in a quest to be a dictatorial monster.
