[Stingy Jack]

Nobody is saying that going to war with Iraq was a bad idea. Not even Kerry. So, I don't know why everyone who defends Bush on this issue uses the argument: "What were we supposed to do? Wait until Sadam blew up the world?" What Kerry is saying (and what the facts point to) is 1.) Bush misled the American people on his motives for going to war with Iraq. 2.) Bush rushed into the war without UN support, without a plan to win the peace, and with troops who were/are seriously lacking in combat defenses. The result is that America has 90% of the casualties and is paying 90% of the cost of the war. We have also discovered that we have basically had to occupy the area in our rush to spread democracy.

Kerry voted for the war, because overthrowing Sadam Hussein was a good idea. However, he did NOT vote that Bush handle the war the way he has. It's not like Kerry is saying: "Good war/Bad war". The war was a good idea, but it is bad because Bush did not initiate it correctly and we now have a huge mess on our hands.

What I would like to know is: Why do people LIKE Bush? What is it about him that is so great? I personally cannot think of a single thing he has done for us here at home since he has been in office. So, I don't see why everyone is so star-struck by this bastard.
