I was stunned with the lead-up to the war .....

.......... I thought it was a tragic mistake and that it would go badly. It has gone much worse than anyone influential stated it would go. I am not surprised how badly the war there has gone.

I couldn't understand for a second the reason for the war. It seemed to me that its only reason was to whip up patriotic frenzy and help the GOP take over the Senate. After having done that and gotten the Senators to back him with the "war authorization" vote, Bush simply went too far in his game of chicken with Saddam. How foolish. In many ways I view his attack on Iraq as a basically a macho move after having gone too far.

Bush makes me ill. He is a warmonger. This offensive approach to the "war on terror" is hideous. But now the United States' citizens have decided to stick with a freak who runs the pathetic governmental operations in Washington. It's surreal.

I am amazed this country can be hoodwinked by a zealot who represents little more than empty machismo masquerading as decisiveness. We don't have the economic base to run such a foolish military-industrial complex. The right wing is making the United States a worthless country. I guess that is befitting since it is run by a worthless punk.
