I think he is slightly more intelligent than people give him credit for.
I don't think any of us can really say for sure unless we know and talk to him.
Of course, actions speak louder than words. He has initiated some "unpopular" actions recently. Only time will tell if those actions were for the better.
I don't understand some of the protesters.
They are screaming about "stop the war" when its over. And its almost like they are defending the fucking maniac we removed from power.
Do I agree he should have been removed from power?
Yes.
Do I believe that he had WMD's that were an immediate threat?
No, I think it was a bullshit excuse.
Thats what I think he should be held accountable for, and what he should be criticized for.
THe funny thing about people is they will make noise just to get into the spot light, even if they don't understand what the fuck they are making noise about. If people want to protest theys hould protest about the WMD's we still haven't found.
But to stand up and call him a tyrant for liberating a country, despite whatever ulterior motives people may suspect; is just fucking ludicris. He may want their oil, and he may want to establish another base to backup Israel with or whatever. But the fact is this.
Iraq is free. Most of the people there ARE happy they are free. The soldiers there seem to believe in what they are doing, and made an effort outright to get involved with the local communities.
Bush made a good point about suicide bombings lately. Turkey is being bombed to shit, Bali has been bombed, Iraq is being bombed to shit, we've been attacked on a grand scale - what happens next when people start bombing Britain and they aren't the IRA ?
What happens when Germany starts getting bombed, (I dare not say france cause they might as well harbor terrorists), or any other countries ?
Will the UK resent Bush more? Will those countries? Will they back out and refuse to stand with the USA ?
What will happen ? The coalition will fall apart. America will become a fortress state, and we will start taking suicide attacks every other day.
A wedge will be driven between the rest of the world and America, a damn big wedge. Thats what the terrorists WANT.
And thats why we should all try to be a little more understanding of the situation of the world. Despite what you think of Bush, or his motives, and despite what the next preseident, or the one after that does.
Because once you can be damn sure, if they bring down America, they will come for your ass next.
Thats why I think we should stick together. And if America becomes some BS global control freak, well the rest of the world will eventually rise up against us. We took down Germany, the world can sure as hell take down America. No country lasts forever.
I think this should be my last post. I've made all my points. I fucking hate politics, and I just can't keep my mouth shut.
I hope people can at least try to understand what I am getting at
