<America is a cess pool of corruption>

Who implied that? America is fine. It is just the Bush and his lying Crony political machine that is the cesspool of corruption.

Politicians can lie about many things, which over time are often immaterial in nature or damaging to no one but themselves, and not draw the public's serious disgust. It happens every day. However Bush lying the country into a political gain war has crossed the line. He is 2 feet submerged in a cesspool, ignoring the serious consequences of world opinion disapproval and pre-emptive war precedents that may well be set. All which could materially affect our future.

Once the unilateral Pre-emptive all out war precedent is set, then there is no looking back. Any country, any despot leader, any terrorist group, any dictator, or even North Korea could deem they are next and launch a pre-emptive first strike using the Bush World Domination precedent as justification. And they could do so using the VERY SAME logic and reasoning as Resident Bush is spouting about America defending against Iraq. (Enemy, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Hostile government, Despot Leader, regime change, etc.)

Before you put me on ignore, please answer this simple question:

If our country is right to launch a Pre-emptive war against UN objections, then would Country X be right to launch a similar Pre-emptive war against the US if they felt threatened by our warships cruising off the coast or some threatening rhetoric out of Washington?
