i think we all can agree that GWB's motives are not out of benevolence. jon
I think I could find people who would not agree with that -- Ronn! :) i meant on brinlist. most of us would agree that bush's benevolent form of compassionate conservatism is aimed at the wealthy class. he is far more interested in funding war rather than water resources, for example: http://news.search.yahoo.com/search/news?ei=UTF-8&p=bush+veto Despite what this war cost our family -- it'll be three years tomorrow since Wes was killed in action -- I'm willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt where it comes to motives. He very well may believe he's doing the right thing. But I don't really know, nor do I much care. But I think I'd be treating myself badly if I didn't allow myself to have some degree of compassion, even for someone whose politics I despise. That's where I diverge from the anti-war folks who demonize the administration. Nick nick, i am very sorry you lost a family member. like almost everyone else i support our troops and grieve for all those who have suffered from this war. i have have brought many of our troops over there and it weighs heavily on me that many did not come back. i don't hate any republican and democrat who were duped into supporting this war. i do blame bush, cheney, rumsfeld and the neo-cons for the unconstitutional practices they used to justify this war, and the illegal tactics they contrived to manipulate many patriotic americans to buy into the rationale for this war. jon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
