Rebellion and George W. Bush

My dear friend T. Earth works as a college counselor at an all boys Catholic high school in the city. He recently explained an "educational" game that the boys play in times of boredom- Wiki Races. It's played by going to Wikipedia.org. The purpose of the game is to only use links within Wikipedia to get from one word to another. The person using the shortest amount of links and/or shortest amount of time is the Winner!

All players involved are given two words. One as the starting place for example, Rebellion (in the hood) and another for the finish line for example, George W. Bush (the enemy).

(evil laughter)

Here is how the Architects played--> shortest amount of links without typing the word in the search box (cause that's cheating).
