In his book Bush at War, the journalist Bob Woodward quotes George Bush as telling him that the interesting thing about being President is that you don't need to explain yourself: "Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something. But I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."
The line crops up early on in David Hare's play about the run-up to war in Iraq, and might be seen as a kind of warning to anybody expecting Stuff Happens to be a straightforward indictment of American foreign policy.
