"Killing Innocent Civilians" - And the 10's of thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of not more than Hussein killed a year mean nothing to you?
He was doing this for the past 2 decades; why was it now that he had to be stopped? He was doing this when the US gave him $200 million plus all the weapons he could handle (weapons which have since been used on American troops, I might add) to wage a war with Iran.
"War for personal gain" - Right, I am sure GWB has a check written out to him in the amount of 1 billion dollars from the war.
Do you actually believe he is gaining nothing? What about Halliburton, Cheney's former company, that has exclusive contracts for post-war cleanup that are over $2 billion? These were never even opened up for public bidding, because Halliburton was supposedly the only company that could do the job? The truth stares you in the face, yet you refuse to see it.
"Forcing views on rest of the world" - The view that terrorism and harboring terrorists is not acceptable? Invading your neighbors is not accepted? Violating UN resolutions is not accepted? I think I WANT those views forced on the rest of the world. Maybe you like being blown up by suicide bombers, I certainly don't.
Since when has Iraq been accused of harboring terrorists? They have absolutely nothing to do with Al- Qaeda; even GWB has not had the audacity to claim so, though he does infer this now and then, but he will never state it directly, as he knows he could be caught in that lie.
"The Economy" - Yeah, just ignore the dozen articles which say its recovering.. and the fact that the downturn started under the previous president.. yeah, Bush is responsible for something that started before he was even President.
The economy may be recovering, but how could it not; there was not much further down to go for a country that has such amazing potential as the USA. I will grant that all of the economy's problems may not have started under GWB, but I have seen nothing from him to help the situation at all. Proceeding with tax cuts for the rich when the deficit is at record levels is blatantly stealing from the American public. These deficits become debt that must be paid at some point, if not by you, then by your children that will inherit the debt load.
"Spewing Religious beliefs" - And what do you think Muslim terrorists are doing? You think they are flying planes into our buildings because they want to promote freedom of religion? But wait, that doesn't fit your agenda.. When you see Bush strapping explosives to American soldiers and having them walk into civilian areas, then I might believe he is forcing his religious views on other people.. Right now, I feel like he is telling the world not to force their radical views on anyone else!
Two wrongs do not make a right. Do terrorists have it right? Hell no. But when Bush will not even chastise a military leader that states "we are at war with evil", and one that thinks a black smudge on an aerial shot of the battlefield is an image of "evil", there is something seriously wrong. The separation of religion and state does not just mean we don't post the Ten Commandments in schools; it also means political decisions should not be made on religious merits.
IMO, GWB is the most glaring example of what is wrong with current democracy and our society as a whole. He was elected basically through name recognition (his Daddy got him the job, with help from brother Jeb), and has exhibited blatant acts fo cronyism.
