if you're honest with yourself you'll have to admit that more than 90% of the "Bush Bashing" was directly or indirectly generated by opposition to what many felt was the fatally flawed decision to preemtively attack Iraq and to continue the occupation of Iraq. SI has a full documentation of the Bush bashing that occurred before the Iraq war. If you're honest with yourself, you'll go back to read the Bush posts from 1999-2003 by the whack jobs who currently infest this thread.

If my wholehearted rejection of that policy and the man who is in charge of implementing that policy makes me a "Bush Basher" then my only question is why aren't the rest of Americans Bush Bashers? Ed Your comment reminds me of a story about Thoreau. He got thrown in jail for protesting the Mexican War (yes, the mindless patriots were into wars way back then too, although that one succeeded in its goal of taking Mexican land, but yes, plenty of people were against it and protested it, including Lincoln, though it wasn't stopped). His friend Ralph Waldo Emerson came to bail him out, and asked him through the bars, "Henry, what are you doing in there?" Thoreau looked back out at him, and replied, "Ralph, what are you doing out there?"
