Hoo boy, I am actually finding this conversation very interesting, but I dont think I will say much, as I really dont have anything to base my beliefs on.
I do think however, that anyone who runs the most powerfull country in the world is going to be ridiculed for one thing or another, I mean, how can one person run a country like america perfectly??? There will never be enough money to pay for everything, I very much doubt that there will ever be a time when hospitals will have no emergeny room waiting lines, school classes will have small numbers, unemployment will be nearly gone, streets will be clean of rubbish, there will be no homeless, there will be no wars.
I do not believe that everybody will enjoy the way the government has control over them.
I do not believe that people will ever agree on the way money is spent, there will always be people that think more money should be spent on schooling, there will always be people who believe that more money should be spent on health care, there will always be people that think more moeny should be spent on housing, tourism, foreign aid, environmental services and so on.
My point is, people are different, and if someone has an opinion, it will not likely change unless something forces them to change.
Im not saying Bush is perfect, though im not saying he is not fit for the job, i just think that people make misteaks, and those with power make more devastating ones, but can we blame a man for trying to protect his country? If you had been told that a family on the other side of town who absolutly hated your family and had been making small attacks on your house recently, had come into possesion of something that threatened the life of your family, that you wouldnt investigate?
I understand that he was wrong, and I understand that many lives were lost because of it, but what if they did have weapons? What if they did somehow manage to launch a nuclear attack on America? What would have happened? he would have been blammed for not making the country secure enough.
And that stands for all countries, there will always be problems, and they will almost always be blammed on someone, and seeing as he has made misteaks, people will blame the president.
I also dont believe that everything he does is his decision, I dont believe that one night Bush was sitting in his chair and suddenly thought, "Hey, I have been informed that there may be weapons of mass distruction in Iraq, its my duty to get rid of them" I dont think that it was a decision that was made over a cup of coffee, if they did not believe it, would they have done it?

lol, but please dont take my points too seriously, becuase I dont know first hand what it is like living under Bush. I may be completely wrong, but that is just what i have seen from where I am.
