I want Bush's madman actions checked. Look what he's accomplished thusfar:

1) He turned the US surplus into a five trillion dollar deficit. (note: granted things were beginning to get bad, but did he have to worsen things?)

2) He's alienated once precious European allies.

3) He's got the pope and the archbishop of Canterberry condemning his action and calling for a Fast for Peace.

4) He's got Iraq's opposition forces fighting with each other, and Turkey acting in a manner inconsistent with the will of its people.

5) He's got the prime ministers of Britain, Spain and Italy in a position opposite to the will of their people.

6) He's completely alienated Arab leaders who genuinely want to support a US policy, but are finding they can't support this war.

7) He's in the process of destroying the United Nations and its vitally important missions.
8) He's ignored even the most conservative estimates relative to what the death and casualty counts will be for both sides in a war against Iraq.

9) He ignores the possibility that the Iraqi massacre could trigger a revolt in Pakistan whereby scores of nukes could fall into the hands of the Al Qaeda/Taliban majority who populate Pakistan. Or that other nations such as Saudi Arabia could come under pressure from OBL instigations.

10) His "Axis of Evil" and "evildoers" rhetoric has set off both North Korea and Iran to ramp up nuclear programs in fear of the US, thus pushing the world into the fear and on the brink of a nuclear event.

11) His proposed $600 billion tax cut is misdirected and could cause an economic collapse for America similar to what happened to the former Soviet Union.
12) Instead of listening to the American people he's instead embarked on a pro-war propaganda campaign that twists and distorts truth as we know it.

13) He thinks a war can be won, a war which shouldn't even be fought in the first place.
