Welcome to Gaia! ::

well the decisions the man has made wernt as many would put it, well smart

I don't have anything good to say about Bush, anyways I only can state the point as a non-american. I have already been against him, since I followed one of his first election speeches, and his words didn't contain one word of serious politics, it was more religious fanatism.

He did graduate from a very prestigious university. 3nodding

Oil... Oil... Oil... Oil... Oil... Oil... Oil... Oil... Oil... That's all it is... It's stupid... Bush, Tony blair, Gordon Brown... Heh heh I wonder why the called him Brown... Maybe because of his brown nose... Anyway... They no longer really look out for the people of the country, more on what will make the most money... They all want a share... Oh well... There's not much we can do.. So lets just sit back and watch them destory the world...

I don't think he's an idiot...but I don't think he is a tower of intellect either. I'd say he's about average. I think it's the fact that his logic and reasoning powers seem rather fix and rigid that lead to the appearance of stupidity. Although I haven't ruled out the possibiltiy that he is an idiot. I know he went to an ivy league school and all. But as the head of my department said "there are plenty of educated fools in the world." A motived student can get an excellent education in a small, unknown, cheaper school. And a rich kid... well, you can figure out where I'm going with that.

Personally, be happy if I never saw or heard about him again. I think he has a somewhat off-kilter perception of reality and that he is so focused on his own agenda that it has never occured to him that he might be wrong. Feeling strongly about your convictions can be a strong point in a leader, but when it reaches the point that some one is blind to reality there is a problem. This "my way or the highway" mentality doesn't cut it (well, it SHOULDN'T) in a representative democrasy. Also, the fact that some of his actions are totally against what the framers of the Constitution had in mind for the nation when it was founded.... this whole imperial presidency thing they tried to prevent from being possible.... yeah, that doesn't sit too well with those of us who have actually heard of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and who have read them (I even have a copy). Perchance if Mr. Bush, and some of his supporters, could ever get around to reading them for themselves, things might be better. But I'm an idealist.

So does that mean Bush ordered the planes to fly into the Twin Towers on 9/11? Because that's when it stated.

It's interesting that this discussion is happening a few days after the anniversary of the bombing at Pearl Harbor. There are many conspiracy theories stating that the US knew and wanted the attack by the Japanese so that we could rally the people to support us entering WWII. Many people, good Americans, died at Pearl Harbor. And just as tragic are the lives of the many good people who died in the Twin Towers, which is the worst attack on America's soil in the history of our country. A tragedy. And an interesting point is that during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were here in the US attending a peace conference.

Now, I do support this war. It's late so I'm not going into a point by point evaluation with you all, talking about the recent NEI reports and other such stuff. I have a cousin who lived with my fam a few years who is like an older brother to me who just left to serve in his first tour in Iraq with the Air Force. I'm very Proud of his bravery.

Now, I'm not happy with Bush when it comes to the Borders. What happened to Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean is a catastrophic tragedy. And Bush should have pardoned these two men, but he is friends with the guy heading up the case, or whatever, I need sleep.

So I'm not a Bush lover. But I'm not a hater either.

BTW, we're winning in Iraq. Don't let the closed minded biased media fool you. The serge is working, and working well.
