Bobby, It is many things you can attach to Bush. I agree with you on many of the things you choose, but you are quite selective in those choices.
The responsibility for war in Iraq, more than 100,000 Iraqi death and a couple thousand (plus) Americans, is firmly at Bush doorstep. It had nothing to do with 9/11, terrorists or anything else about American security, except temporary stopping the dollars fall from world monetary standard. Erosion of the dollar is maybe an important security issue, but the war does not provide a permanent solution or improve the long term prospects. The man is incompetent and personally I think that you have all the rights to choose him as president, as a Nation you must however take the long term international responsibility for what he has done in your name and the effects on the rest of the world. I hope that you have noticed that the majority of the industrial and developing nations are very much against the US policies and refuse to accommodate them. It took years for him to discover that US is addictive to oil (LOL), this years of indecision is also at Bush feet. He have done a lot of decisions, but avoided the maybe most important ones. We still have to see any sign of really important decisions on this. Oil is unfortunately at the moment the life blood of the development of the world and US is sucking up 25% of it. As a democracy, you have the President you deserve, in good and in bad. Hakan At 20:03 19/04/2006, you wrote: >The Bush Administration is not trying to kill you.
