well hats off to bush for putting yet another country in shambles... the american government has probably killed in the hundreds of times more innocent victims than Saddam did, they've taken down democraties and helped dictators rise just to stop the 'spread' of communism...most of the weapons Bin Laden (whosfamilly isis a very close to the Bush family)uses were supplied by or bought with american money

the american people need to realize this and get him out of office
The fact is that the American people don't care. Bush has the American people scared ****less over terrorism that we (as a whole) don't use any sort of logic when looking at the Iraq situation. The same exact thing happened during the cold war. The government had the people so scared over the threat of communism that they didn't care how many laws were broken and how much injustices were committed as long as the "communist threat" was eliminated. People never learn from history.
i couldn't have said it better myself,

i think we all can sit back and analyze the situation but its doing no good. it doesnt matter who the president was during this time but take into account all that bush has been through with the war and 9-11 and ask your self do you honestly think you could have done a better job? who ever the president may have been, democrat republican or what ever, they would have been given a hard time for the decisions they made during these last few years. there is no easy way out of the things that have happened but its part of history now and there is no way to change it so i think we should respect our government for what they do whether you think it was the right decision or not. there is no way we could do what they do on a daily basis. sorry to ramble on but maybe we should sit back and look at what we have and be thankful we can get out and about without someone blowing up a car in our face. idk just my opinion.

Unfortunately... And I don't think it's about Bush, I think this is just what was in the air at that time, and still is there to some extent... If not him, another president would have to do something similar after 9/11 to satisfy popular demand for revenge...

The argument of "you couldn't do a better job" doesn't hold any water what so ever. You may very well be right that i could not have done a better job. However, I did not run for president and tell the entire that I could lead this nation. When Bush took the oath of office he took the responsibilities of the office, he took the burden of the office and put it on his own shoulders. Remember that it was HIS decision to be president. When you look at the lead up to war, Bush rushed it. It was Bush's sole decision to go into Iraq. He didn't even attempt to take any diplomatic routes, he wanted blood and there wasn't anything anyone could have done to stop him.

Well he did blatently lie to the American people. Do you remember when Colin Powell went to the U.N. and shook a vial of Anthrax and said Saddam has a **** load of this laying around? Don't forget that Bush did scare the American people into this war.
