Post by Graham InnocentLet's get this straight, you're saying you don't understand why it's
important that the US public should know when their president has been
making up stories detailing non-existant, imaginary threats, to
persuade them to support a war ?
People don't care as long as what the president does is in their
interests.
Post by Graham InnocentPost by First MajeI will continue to point out the valid justifications for Bush's
conduct.
Go ahead, tell us. Explain why you think it's OK to tell an electorate
they're being threatened with something non-existant to get them to
support their belligerent foreign policy.
People don't care as long as what the president does is in their
interests.
Post by Graham InnocentPost by First MajeHow do you know that Bush isn't threatening to attack N. Korea?
LOL. Now you're fantasizing 'secret' policies to try and rationalise
the obvious contradictions in the Bush administration's stances.
Bill Clinton was indicted for all sorts of criminal acts, including
lying to a Grand Jury. He was even impeached for those crimes. Yet he
was not convicted. Explain that.
Some say it was because no one wanted to take the risk of having Gore
for president. But the real reason is that the president is given a
lot of slack to do his job, and even misconduct in office is not
sufficient to interrupt his duties as leader of the free world.
Post by Graham InnocentAt some point, you must've made a decision to support Bush _regardless of
what he does_. Why ?
Because I trust him to do what is in my interest. It is not my job to
question his judgement on a microscale.
Neither you, I or 99 44/100% of the human race has any clue what is
really going on behind the scenes in the world today. I am not going
to make up "what if" scenarios to make my point - it should be obvious
to anyone who knows that the world is filled with crazy people who
have their fingers on weapons systems that can end life on the planet
in a heatbeat.
Hussein brought invasion on himself. He provided the motive and
opportunity that gave the Coalition a ready excuse to invade and
thereby set up a strong military presence in the Middle East, which is
about one step from collapsing into anarchy.

Complete, fully thought through, professional, well-executed
violence never leads to more violence because, you see,
afterwards, the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead.
Not 'on trial,' not 'reeducated,' not 'nurtured back into the
bosom of love.' Dead. D-E-A-D. Well, you get the idea.
