THis whole mess with Iraq is truly ridiculous. At this point Bush is telling Saddam to get rid of all his weapons so he won't be killing us while we are on our way in to kill them..................it's insane!!!!

Saddam is a tyrant but he also isn't stupid. If I were him I would have some tricks left up my sleeve and I would certainly not get rid of all my weapons.

The only way to avoid a bloodbath is to settle this peacefully.................without a war...........don't start it!

Ignore your hate for Bush for a momment and think about a couple of your points.

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

Tony Blair was the one who publicly identified Iraq as an issue needing to be addressed after the terrorism events of September 11, 2001. He was ahead of George Bush on this. Anything you might have read differently is inaccurate.

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.

Actually NK started up there program prior to 9/11 and this is probably why they were included in the axis of evil. It was not until after the state of the union speech NK admitted they had started up the program and we subsequently stopped shipping aid.

Maybe there is a different side your not seeing.

I personally think we should go in now. Waiting does no good and actually puts our troops in greater danger. Those who want to delay this are actually supporting our enemy.

To those sins I would add that Bush has aligned the US 100% behind Sharon and his ongoing massacre of a mostly defenseless Palestinian population with the idea of ultimately expelling them to make room for fanatic Zionist settlers.

The whole world knows that the international Likudnik network is dictating US policy in the Mideast.

What about that list of the 18(?) pissings off of the rest of worl during is first monts?? pr-9-11
how did it go, off the top of my head

Kyoto
ICC (Int Crime Court)
Steel protectionism, WTO
China (additionally also ref WTO)
hands-off policy on the Middle East, Israel-Palestine
AMB (??) agreement with Russia, once again a "yellow umbrella"
some stuff about starving UN health programs, that is
regular anti-UN-black-helicopters x-files stuff
....

And then a total 180 degree turn of the sledge after 9-11, asking for
internationl cooperation to fight international terrorism, on his
new found UNESCO knees through the UN gates

And then messing that up too, his stuff on "irrelevant"

All of it perfectly understandable and explainable, but still, by some,
defined as "severe mismanagement", especially as these things do not
disappear in today's world of internet archives.
