As much as I don't like Bush...and his administration....look to the republican party as a whole first. Now..I'm no walking fact based kid or even that well educated in politics, but I feel that the republican party as a whole got someone into office (Bush) who they could boss around. I mean....just look at how scandalous that election was. I need not remind what happened at the end when they were counting votes by hand. Anyway, this whole war isn't Bush's fault and his adminstration. Sure they DO have blame, but like I said it's the whole Republican Party. No offense, but Bush is not the brightest man around. I can see him being very gullible.
off-topic: You gotta love Bush's response to whoever was interviewing him and said around the lines "So what do you think history will say about you years down the road." His response, while I don't think exact was "It doesn't matter, we're all going to die anyway." I dunno that just erked me.

"funny
3/4 of your content of your post just became name-calling defensive instead of actual debate material.
:("
if you honestly didnt see my point against him, and why it was justified, then I'm not even going to bother continueing in this debate. Its very obvious, the point I was making, which was in response to him.
please see nacmats response.
thank you.
*know what else is funny? that 100% of your post is trying to discredit me (almost like name calling) and not actual debate material. In fact it doesnt even raise points relating to the topic at all, unlike mine. Yours is just your (flawed) view on my post.
So, keep up the hard work guys. But unfortunatly, I think you'll need to double your efforts.

zeus obviously you see things in a different shade of light than i do. i know the things i dont like in this world. i dont like the obvious wrongs in the world. war isn't the greatest thing in the world, but that comes hard to say whne you think of the others who are suffereing at the wrong hands of other people. i'm more worried about the thousands of people who have a future in iraq as oppose to the unfornate individual caught between the crossfire of this war going on now. israel is a prime example of what goes on in the middle east when you aren't culturally and religously accepted. i dont think you can't deny these things i've said because they're obviously shown in the news all the time. you want to see this war as "the cup being half empty" fine by me you're entitled to that. i'm also entitled to stand up in what i believe in.

"israel is a prime example of what goes on in the middle east when you aren't culturally and religously

Israel is a prime example of how isolated the US is when it comes to their foreign policy, just about every resolution put against Israel is vetoed by the US. Also I heard Israel refuses weapons inspectors into their country, but thats ok, because they are friends with the US.

don't be silly, how can the US Administration commit crimes? In order to do that they would have to adhere to some kind of international law... which they do, only when it suits them. I mean, the UN decided not to go to war with Iraq, but the US did anyway because it is was self defence!

he started it *points to nora*
but seriously...
the majority of americans (or at least the majority of the american media) is pro bush. Im so sick and tired of hearing it. Id love to talk about music, but when someone comes on the board with this junk, its open game to tear them apart. Nora posted this topic. She expressed her views. We expressed ours. The fact that the majority is against her, is coincidence. I have no problem with people having thier own opinions... but if they want to share it, then they take the risk of other people not agreeing, and stating thier opinion.

Just like all the damage we've done, by invading Iraq. It will take a long time to repair our (deservedly) tarnished image.

"If Israel is so justified in its murdering of civilians with

Not nearly as many civilians are killed as the "media" reports. they are misleadng in their numbers, which count all palestinian deaths as one. that includes civilians and terrorists. 99% of the world condemns israel because they are antisemetic. the homes are demolished usually because they were once home to suicide bombers and thus become honored places which promote more terrorism. if you do some research israel has done more for peace in the past 10 years than the palestinians can pretend to. they fake peace efforts when in reality they teach their own, including children to hate.

if you read my comments earlier, I said palistine is not blame free. its just that israel isnt either, like many people like to portray them.
the whole reason they are mentioned in this debate, is because someone justified invading iraq, because of 15 broken resolutions. israel has 68. we were making the point that using the excuse "but they broke 15 resolutions" for going to war, is BS.
