A lot of people go with what’s popular and don’t think beyond the moment. I’m not a fan of Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” or his profligate spending. But I don’t understand ANY attacks on his invasion of Afghanistan or Iraq. If anyone remembers, when his father stopped at the Iraqi border during the Gulf War the Democrats screamed at him for not finishing the job. The Democrats were screeming for Saddam Hussein to be removed because he was such a monster. He had violated sanctions, UN restrictions, a no-fly zone, and several other nasty things.
But the minute people from the U.S. started getting hurt Bush was the bad guy. It’s as if we thought we could just waltz in and tell them to behave and waltz out again. We lost fewer people in the entire Iraq war than we did in some training missions during WWII. But we tired of it too quickly and we didn’t like wounded warriors coming home.
I agree with you 100% about Bush’s soul and motives. I think he was doing what he thought was best for the country and the world at the time. And I think if he read your rant he’d say, “That’s OK, Pippin. The people need a scape goat and I’m available. They’re not hurting anyone but themselves. Save your upset for things that really matter.”
But I’ve never met him. It’s just my opinion.
There is a big black box, 3.5” X 3.5” in the upper right hand corner and I don’t know how to get rid of it. It has a big orange arrow and the statement, “Search, settings, and other charms,” then “Move your mouse pointer all the way into the corner, move down the edge, and then click.”
It is in such a position that I can’t access my Favorites file.
Any suggestions?
Like why did Broadstripe and Comcast (two cable companies in Anne Arundel County Maryland) in their “infinite wisdom” decided not the carry BBCAmerica in there line up,
