And, I couldn't care less that you don't care what I have to say, but I'm wondering why you keep responding to what I have to say. Bush did a dreadful job as President his 2nd term. I agree with us going into Iraq. That I give him credit for doing. If we hadn't, we would have had to sometime down the road when the conditions were much worse, it would cost triple fold the money, and many more lives would have been lost. Now how long is it going to take for someone to start hammering at me because I answered your question?!~ I hate most politicians - all parties. I'd call them whores, but that would give whores a bad name

I agree about Bush.. he was terrible, especially in his second term. I disagree about Iraq, only because of the WMD reason Bush gave. Had they found WMD's, it would have been justified.. but going into an incredibly expensive war on false accusations is just terrible IMO. With that said, I'm extremely happy that Saddam and his cronies are dead. They were the scum of the earth and treated people terribly. The unfortunate thing seems to be.. because of how poor that country is and how insane their religion is.. it seems like the only way to govern a country like that is an out of control tyrant like Saddam. I really hope democracy works over there.. it will take decades before we find out if the Iraq war makes the world a better place... though that still wont justify the WMD lies. I hate the out of control spending by both parties. Repubs pretend they are conservative yet Bush outspent anyone until Obama came along. And Obama is no better.. actually worse.. he's Bush times 100. we're screwed unless we can get a good third party going.

I'm reading a book right now (just released) "The Manchurian President". I know, I know - those who think POTUS walks on water wouldn't say a bad word about him no matter what he did/does. But, that man is truly scary. The Republicans are a joke - trying to walk a fence and getting hit by traffic on both sides. Yearning for a candidate of any party who is for the people and not growing big government via outrageous spending and taxation.

![]() I completely disagree about invading iraq. It was a horrible decision. Not only has it cost us militarily and financially, but any sympathy garnered after 9-11 was changed to hate. Worst off all, invading created a power vacuum, there's no one in the region now who is wlling and able to keep iran in check. The difficulties caused by us attacking iraq are our largest foreign and domestic policy problem.

both proved to be false, and once we created a mess in Iraq the terrorists started building up their base there!

![]() even if they had wmd's, it's not as tho we can just willfully attack every enemy who has them. and yes, i understand that they may have violated certain terms of surrender from gulf '91. but to the point that an invasion was needed? warranted? justified? the economy has since tanked, the war continues, iran is the big dog in town, and possibly already with, or soon to have nuclear weapons. all this because bush 2 ignored everything that everyone knew would happen, just to have his war. his cowboy, shoot first, ask questions later mentality is what caused many problems we have. and it's not just iraq, afganistan is a huge issue as well. i understand some of the intent, but that doesn't excuse the horrible mess we're in because of wanting a war that wasn't justifiable.
the biggest question when a leader wants a fight that he should ask himself-is it a winnable war? truly winnable, worth it, worth the lives?
