    Uhh, so you're saying that by going in to kill the terrorists, Bush himself is a terrorist? That doesn't make sense! I mean - compare it to Saddam: giving citizens acid baths for speaking out against him, bombing them with biological weapons, depriving them of food and clean water, using them as shields - is Bush a terrorist, then, by taking this person out of power and restoring a democracy to a very troubled land?

    Ooo, how bad of him.

    George Bush is no terrorist. Personally, I feel he believed, and continues to believe, he is acting in the best interests of the U.S., as well as the globe. I believe he is sincere in his beliefs and trust in his eponymous Doctrine. And I applauded his resolve, immediately post-911. But I think his vision is flawed, and his ability is limited, for reasons I've already extensively said so won't bore with anything further on this.

    To some level, I think he could have rode through his whole presidency very smoothly, if he didn't go into Iraq.

    I tend to believe that's why so many representives switched as well. Although I've had comments that it's 'people like me, whom lost this election for Republicans'...lmao.

    I disagree.

    It wasn't way better but it certainly was better. At the moment the country is in complete utter chaos, thousands dying every single month. It is on the verge of civil war and there will be nothing that the coalition forces will be able to do when that happens. It's a total disaster on a huge scale to all but the blindest of people.
