I will answer you as a loyal bushbot, that I really am.

You are correct, Bush is wrong on some subjects. Immigration, wrong. So-called "Campaign Finance" way wrong. He should have vetoed it, for sure. And the Supreme Court Justices who voted for it have NO excuse, after all, they're supposed to be geniuses and Bush is supposed to be a dope. Prescription drugs, don't know, probably wrong. And sure, I'd like the Feds to give up the feed the children, buy the pills for the old people crap and just DEFEND OUR BORDERS.

Having said that, I have to say that Bush has been a great leader since 9/11. You have to remember how many,many, many times the Islamofascists have hit us over the last 30 years, from RFK to 9/11. We really never hit back. Even Gulf War I was a defense of our ally, even if it was in our own interest to do so. All that restraint and we got Sept. 11th, the brutal murder of as many Americans as possible. Innocent people who had done nothing but go to work that day. Children and babies and elderly people brutally and heartlessly murdered. They would have plunged that 4th plane into the Capitol too and completely wrecked havoc with our entire government except for the brave actions of the men on the plane.

Now you may not think Saddam had anything to do with any or all of the actions of the Islamofacists, but President Bush did. And he was not the only one. PM Blair agreed with his assessment. Now, either these guys get some good info that you and I are not privy too, or they don't, but they most likely do.

The best sign that this was a good move is the news that Arafat is, a la Tom Daschle, deeply saddened. My feeling on this is that Bush thought this was the thing to do, Saddam was a pig and a constant danger, there were 101 good reasons for getting rid of him, and now he's gone.

I could be a Buchannanite too (I'm not saying you're one, don't misunderstand), but I'm afraid it's impossible to be such in the year 2003. We do live in a global village now. We better strive hard to make the neighborhood a place we enjoy living in. Getting rid of the biggest Muslim bullies is a good place to start.

And with all that said, I'll admit it, I sort of felt sorry for Saddam today too. And relieved he showed the sense to just surrender, and that he was taken by Americans, who won't just slaughter him. I'm like Stalin, who felt that the Nazis deserved a trial before their exectuions.

If the US is threatened by another country, I say go get 'em. Osama Bin Laden attacked us and we kicked his butt in Afganstan. HE WAS a threat. He attacked us. The evidence of Saddam's connection to terrorism is less than the Saudis, but we AREN'T attacking their country, are we? Why? North Korea is a bigger threat, in my opinion, than Saddam ever was, but we have done nothing about them. China is a threat, but we're buddy-buddy with them because OUR companies are using it's people as slaves so we can by $30 DVD players, while Taiwan is hung out to dry.
You are right; there may be information that our government knows that we do not. However, I WILL NOT follow blindly into a war for a political party no matter WHICH party it is. The "good guys" can use their followers just as well the "bad guys". Actually, I don't see much difference between the two parties, but that's another thread! :)
