Mr. Bush should be proud

[Ricky]

When George Bush Sr. was dealing with this same issue with Iraq, he had a meeting in Kuwait. There was an attempt to harm him there, and it was directed by none other than Saddam. Now, George Bush Jr. is not only attempting to get rid of the weapons there, but also, in my opinion, he's also trying to settle a personal score with Saddam because of his attempts to harm his father.

Just remember... My opinions are worth as much as you paid for them.

The fact remains that this small "threat" in Iraq is completely blindsighting Bush of the fact that North Korea's strike is imminent. We are not even 100% sure that Iraq is hiding anything. While we're wasting time over there trying to look for weapons of mass destruction, they will be used on our forces in North Korea.
Some Commander-in-Chief we have.

The most dangerous countries are the ones that hide what they have. N. Korea wants something. If they were really going to strike, do you think they would announce to the world that they have nuclear weapons?

it's fact that the majority of americans did not vote for him. [/b]

when was the last time a majority of americans voted for any president? or even the majority of registered voters? it would be interesting to poll those now frustrated with the whole Iraq war scenario (admittedly an extremely frustrating thing) to see how many were moved enough to vote when they had the chance.

btw, I'm currently taking a political science class, and it is taught from the "elitist" point of view.... that being that, in a true democracy, every person votes for and discusses issues directly (however, that's inefficient, considering how many people live in the u.s.), whereas, the U.S. is actually more of a republic... we vote for people to represent us.... it was the forefathers' way of leaving the public with influence, while still giving the "elites" most of the power to make laws and such. The elitists believe that the general public doesn't always know what's best for them, and that the "elites" of the government probably know better.

In the midst of all this talk of the end of time, war that is upon us, the free-people of the world rallying for peace etc. I really can't help myself of thinking about Civ:

OUR WORDS ARE BACKED BY NUCLEAR WEAPONS!


I'm sorry, this is a serious issue and all that, but still ...

In the protests I saw a sign with "Bush: get a Playstation if you want to play wargames!"

If Bill would give him an Xbox, I'd promise to not bash M$ this year . ..

George Bush Jr. is a great president and a good and honest man. I'm grateful he is serving our country as he is right now.
(just thought you'd all like to know where I stand, as dangerous as that might be. )

Must say, I've appreciated the call that went through the world... Peace... G.W., and sadly 'the USA', seemed to have forgotten about principles like that and the options they provide ever since 9-11.

Terrorism is a terrible thing. Hence the name. Solving this problem is a good cause. 'Going to war against terrorism' is not. Because it's basically fighting fire with matches. You can quote that or flame me in private messages about it. :P

About that Playstation banner: I saw that, too! There were other funny ones, but the important thing, I think, is: The war hasn't yet started. Let's hope for a peaceful solution, although the odds look bad. The USA have never stepped back from starting a war when so many soldiers were already sent into the area...

And the worst problem with G.W. Bush's way... He can't stop. He'll go on until another president is elected. Why? Think one minute. Do you think he'll ever say the words: "We've won the war against terrorism." That'd be waiting for a punchline...
