Long after Bush is gone from office and forgotten as a failed nothing, decades and decades later, tens of thousands of grieving fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters will still mourn for their dead loved ones. All because of this one small and pathetic fool.
And the public who elected the fool, and the public who aren't doing anything to kick this fool out of office... We are all to blame.
True. But I think his idiocy has a lot to do with his policy and how he handled his presidency. Well, mostly because he's such a puppet.
If you people think Bush is the culprit, you're wrong. Let us make no bones about it, Bush is a psychopathic and evil man, but it's the people controlling him you really need to worry about. Bush is just a puppet, as are all presidents. The position of the president is that of a figurehead. The path this country is headed down is not going to change, regardless of who is in office. We are doomed unless we wake up to the people who are behind the scenes.
Sorry cooloner but you're entirely mistaken. Go back and look at what I wrote just as I wrote it. I never said Bush was responsible. I said Bush was the cause. More precisely part of the cause. The word "responsibility" has moral implications implying among other things punishment and so forth. You're the one that made the shift from "cause" to "responsibility" and the two are NOT the same. If you knew me personally which you don't you'd soon be painfully aware that "responsibility" is a big issue with me because I don't believe in punishment. Correspondingly I don't think I ever use the word "responsibility" or at least I try not to. Why? You thought responsibility was something good didn't you. Well I don't use the word because it's used as a tool of oppression by conservatives bigots and reactionaries. It obscures things. So what do I believe in? Forget the responsibility/moral mumbo jumbo and get to the heart of the matter which is causes and effects and getting the job done. Bush is a negative factor as a causal element so get people in there who are competent. (Or if I'm missing your point and the question is how such a person can get into office well of course I wonder the same thing with all the really good minds available how do we end up with a substandard person in the most powerful position in the nation? Well I guess just look at the people who voted for him and the reasons why. And why are they so naive? Well there are lots of reasons...) cooloner the matter of responsibility/punishment/morals goes far beyond what I've just said above and I'm not going to go into it all right now but maybe sometime later we can. Maybe you can see a little bit what I'm talking about from what I just said. For now just focus on causes and effects and getting the job done without hurting people.
Too bad because people use language to deal with reality. If you don't make distinctions with one you'll suffer the same fate with the other. Maybe some day you'll work up the steam.
Ok, you guys are scaring me. Bush picked a fight with someone he thought he could beat. Whatever you may think of Saddam Husein, he had nothing to do with 9/11 and Bush had no more reason to go in after him than he did with 10 or 15 other countries that I can think of off the top of my head.
