I didn't say that Bush was the problem -- what I said is that Bush has done nothing to increase security and much more government spending to make matters worse for a bad economy. Bubba is nothing from the standpoint of the bubble -- the bubble is much bigger than his tenure ... it has its roots in Fed policy and fractional reserve banking as a whole -- the system is dishonest -- dishonest weights and measures.

There is no such thing as a war on terrorism. It is a fantasy. I still haven't seen proof that Sadam was a threat to this country and don't expect to ... other countries have WMD -- we aren't taking them all out and we can't predict what governments will and won't turn to extremism at some pt in the future.

I don't argue with the pursuit of Bin Laden -- but even the complete elimination of Al Qeda is simply one threat eliminated. The threat of terrorism cannot be eliminated. It is that simple.

But we certainly can foment more terrorism, by one-sided policies in the ME and intervening in a lot of countries in the name of "protecting" our citizens.

Sadam is gone and so are a number of Iraqi and American citizens. Easy to justify with folks dancing in the streets, but only time will tell if this has been good for the area. My hope that it is, but I disagree that we have the right or the duty to disarm countries with weapons that haven't attacked us or threatened an attack. The natural outcome of a "strike first" policy is a reign of terror. We cannot obtain security, by simply being the biggest baddest kid on the block and removing any leader we don't like. It won't work.
