I think each of these people is acting on some sort of psychological insecurity complex. Dubya, for instance, seems to be all about the Oedipus complex with Poppy, loving him as a father, and yet hating him for favoring Jebby. For Cheney, there seems to be some bully-esque need to hoard more and more power for himself, while trying to instil fear in the hearts and minds of everyone else, which, of course, is born out of his own deep, personal insecurities.
I've always suspected that Wolfowitz, Perle and the PNAC neo-conservative Jews were acting out some sort of subconscious victim/vengeance/payback role against Muslims in the Middle East for how their lives and families were nearly destroyed by Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. (i.e. "The Cycle of Pain" continues.)
Rove seems like the nerdy, wussy guy who got wedgies and swirlies in high school by the football jocks, and swore to get his revenge upon them all someday, and show the world who he was. I have no clue whatsoever about Rummy, though. Maybe he's in on this just "for fun." He has a certain sadistic quality about him.
I think Tom DeLay is Hitler reincarnated. Seriously. That man represents all that is bad when government, corporations and religion combine together into a political machine. So far, he's been mostly content to pulling the strings behind the scenes, but God help us all if he ever gets anywhere near the Whitehouse. He'd make Dick Cheney look like a saint.
