Bush and his mafia should all be locked up for a long time.
I agree with you on many piano things, but gotta disagree here. Bush may not be the best president we've ever had, but he is definitely not the worst. Consider Herbert Hoover: he was president during the Great Depression, and did nothing to stop the escalation. (He thought people should learn to help themselves, and therefore did not approve financial help, housing help, creation of government payed jobs, soup kitchens, etc. It is my belief that things could have been better without such a poor response.
Also, everyone complains about the number of deaths in war. I agree that war is bad, but we must realize something: the number of American deaths so far in this war is 1885 (as of the date of this post). Now, consider WWI. Total deaths in that war? 116,516. Of course, Dems will say that the Iraq war isn't just, for various reasons. People will say that we have no right to be fighting in Iraq.
What right did we have to fight in WWI? I'll tell you: very little. We were fighting in foreign territory (France, etc.) for essentially no reason. Why did this war get started? I'll remind you: there was a tiny little disagreement (relative, of course, to the world in general) about an extremely minor archduke. This archduke (murdered) was unpopular and disrespected. However, a war erupted in the Balkans about this archduke, and Austria (then Russia) got involved. Germany saw this as an opportunity to grab some land, so they entered the war and got France, Britain, etc. involved. All of these countries became involved because of secret, paper treaties.
So why did the US become involved?
.....
There was no threat against the security of the US. We became involved in a Europe territory spat. Popular support for this war quickly waned in the bogdown that followed. American lives were being wasted in a no-gain situation, and for what reason?
Yet that war ended, and people eventually concentrated on the heroics and bravery of the troops and gradually forgot the uglier side of this war. (I'm sure people will disagree with me here; that's fine, but read the history behind it.)
The US has more reason to fight this war than they had to fight WWI. And we're losing fewer lives.
By the way, Bush is an elected official, not the mafia. Don't think they'd let him join.
