this is correct.... also UNDIVIDE the party lines and accept the facts and dont BLAME!!! its a waste of time... seriously..could BUSH help all that he faced????? would a clinton or obama do it better??? would YOU???????? lets unite and think american.. what do we stand for????????? No Bush couldn't prevent everything that happened. But he could have done a MUCH better job of responding to those issues, instead of spending most of his time lollygagging around his Crawford, Texas ranch. Honestly, is there ANY other President that has taken MORE and LONGER vacations than this one? What was he THINKING, the Presidency runs on AUTOPILOT? OK..... Um......again, i think the point is being missed. GWB is NOT one of my favorite people, OK? NOW, that being said, he is our president right now whether we like it or not. Bad news: We have to deal with him 6 more months....Godd news? He can't run again for re-election. GWB is not perfect. Again, citing my above paragrapgh: "GWB is NOT one of my favorite people, OK?" One more time: "GWB is NOT one of my favorite people, OK?" Now, with THAT being said, what good is it that we bash him...just so we can feel better about ourselves? Not in the least, come on, give me a break. It does no good that we bash GWB! What happens next? OH! I kNOW! Let's bash McCain and/or Obama, and say what bad of a job they are doing!!!! Great idea! Oh wait! Next President! President Smith and VP Jones are both douchebags!! Fast forward to the year 2143...our grandkids and great grandkids will say: WOW! I'm carrying on my family tradition of Presidential Bashing! The world is a whole lot worse off than it was over 100 years ago, but dog gone it, I'm going to continue to focus on the problem and bash our president because I have no clue as to how to solve the problem!! Hopefully it will never come to this...run for office, serve your country, but do SOMETHING constructive! Lead by example and let the children of today see you and say, "I want to be a good man, like that guy over there...shoot, he may not be able to make a difference now, but when I am older, I'll be able to work hard and solve all these problems he has worked his whole life to try to fix...." My post was in response to brooke007's comment. But I agree that people have to do constructive things, lead by example, blah blah blah But we cannot forget the past either. Or we'll make the same mistakes again and we can't afford this as a nation.

(I like JFK, but the Kennedys have been involved in US politics WAY TOO LONG IMHO)!

I don't know about you... but I'll take a big helping of not having lived in Iraq while Sadam was in charge...

John Edwards would have been the best, but the Democrats were more concerned with making history with a first than picking the best candidate! Obama will do fine though!

And our politics have gotten way too party based. to you on that one. As for doctors, teachers, and astronauts... our doctors are too busy overcharging patients, our teachers are too busy trying to reduce our already pathetic school curriculum to the level of the least interested student who wouldn't learn for anything, and our astronauts are missing... we haven't had a lot of missions up in recent years. I'd rather see a congress made up of people who are free thinkers. Just a group of blue collar and white collar people who care to actually think about the issues, discuss them with public interest in mind, and actually control our overgrown governmental body with a big chainsaw of a hedgetrimmer. That would be of benefit!

Yeah, that's another thing that needs to be dealt with is the corruption...

I should have clarified that more.....my fault.

We were told that we were going to look for Bin Laden because of 9/11. We couldn't find him. Then Bush took our attention off of that fact and redirected our attention to Saddam and used lies to do it.

You were claiming that we liberated and gave them an oppurtunity they never had before! BS, all we did was interupt their lifes, and destroyed their infrastructure! You can believe what you wish.. It's america.. I never said we liberated them. I said they were able to do things more freely that they were not able to do before. Be it because of sadam, or the religion, or affiliations with groups.. I'm not saying that we're saviors or anything. I'm merley saying that we are doing a lot more than people like you give us credit for.. Feeding the starving that each group is continuing to let starve while they get fat on the food they stole from UN drops. Or they can sell it at such a insane price no one can afford it. Everyone fails to see that we are over there.. Giving the kids shots so they don't die from chicken pocs sp we are trying to make a differance. If your logic was true. The articals that you quoted and posted from wouldnt be saying that the US is doing good, none of the articals said.. The hospitals are shot because America is here. Or the educational system is falling behind. It's Iraqi on Iraqi violence that is causing the problems for them. Not us. But, your preception is your reality.. If you preceive those articals to say that.. Then that's what your going to believe. We can debate it until the cows come home and everyone across the earth holds hands and sings it's a wonderful world.. But, you will still believe that our presence there has some how caused them to attack one another. Think about it for a second.. What would the military obtain by destroying hospitals, or letting people starve.. What good does it do the Iraqi people? For the shiites or the suni's or w/e to sit there and steal the aid that the us and other nations are trying to provide.. The only thing that they are doing is proving that there needs to be some kind of superior power there... I mean c'mon.. Basically.. The pressence over there is.. Mom/Dad.. and the Iraqis are bro/sister... The brother pulls the sisters hair. The parent responds with Quit pulling your sisters hair!! Without that the brother is going to continue to pull the sisters hair.. Until one of two things happens... Her hair gets ripped from her head.. Or she punches him in the balls. It will continue unless something is done.
