You are a troglodyte and as such you cannot understand precepts of civilized society. No, I suspect I'm a little more experienced in life than you are. As a result, I probably have a little better understanding of human nature than you do. I also understand that the United States' greatness derives from its freedom, and if we aren't willing to fight to preserve that freedom we don't deserve to keep it. I have watched nitwit liberals compromise our freedom one time after another, and it is great that we finally have a president who understands it. You and I could never ever see things the same way. You are, frankly, looking through the eyes of an immature child, one who does not understand evil and how you deal with it. Bush probably has the clearest vision of how to deal with the evil he delineated better than any president we've had in a century. This is, after all, about evil, and eliminating it. Bush has eliminated the evil of Saddam. Bush has taken bold steps toward eliminating the evil of Palestinian terrorists. He nailed it with the so-called "axis of evil" speech, and when he leaves office in '09 I'm confident the evil will be under control. That's really about all I want out of a president.

Saddam was killing these babies or our sanctions? Both. You think we needed a war built on lies to lift these sanctions? With Saddam still in power, and without a threat to his power from the US and without the extra difficulties caused by sanctions it would have been trivial for Saddam to rebuild the WMD program even if those who think it was just about all destroyed were correct. Also when the US tried to change the sanctions to allow more civilian trade, the so called "smart sanctions", Iraq influenced other countries to defeat the plan, because it would make it more difficult for Saddam to portray the sanctions as hurting the Iraqi people in order to get them totally lifted. Would you have supported a total lift of all sanctions on Iraq including those covering weapons and "dual use" items that could be used to make chemical or bio weapons? Tim
