GWB is making hard decisions, and exercising great restraint in dealing with the present situation. I liken him to Winston Churchill. Right. Except that Winston Churchill was a fine orator, and GWB often stumbles over big words & long syllables. Winston Churchill came from an aristocratic family background, GWB came from a war-profiteering & oil money background, and is a 3rd generation politician. Churchill was a brave soldier who sought out heavy fighting, Bush avoided the war in Viet Nam. Churchill was well known for his witty comments at parties, Bush is a former frat-boy partier now reformed & a Bible-thumping teetotaller. Churchill inspired his country to fight a tremendous menace, Bush has enriched his cronies by sending poor & middle-class sons, brothers, and fathers, to fight an unproven cause... other than the basic fact that he lied about the cause, which is well proven. Yeah, Churchill & GWB are much the same Bart. GWB is tough enough to realize that something has to be done, while most leaders have been appeasers. GWB was the man to bring down the Saddam. I think that was a good choice. If he had waited 6 months more to build a coalition, like Bush Sr did, then I'd agree. But to alienate our allies and destroy our int'l good will so as to launch a war for reasons that were a lie, I think was a very very poor choice. Criminal, in fact! In the past migrations have resulted in genocide. It is happening again and either one must chose to tolerate it or chose to stop it. You have to be either for genocide or against it. What is your choice? WTF?? Bush is not intervening in any of the current ongoing genocides. AFAIK the U.S. has no plans to intervene anywhere in Africa or Indonesia. DSK |
