Some people will indeed ignore all the facts and lies...and follow the leader to theyre deaths.
If WC only knew how his attitude is so hated by citizens of the rest of planet earth.
Arrogant, Clumbsy, and incredibly Short-Sighted.
Shoot first, then ask questions later...while you are picking through all the bodies of the women and children you just killed.

Its so sad that some people are that way.

Personally, and I have said this before, Bush scares me. Not militarily, but ecologically. I shall explain...

The why's and wherefore's of the Iraq situation have been dredged through more than enough and people's opinions on it will not be altered. Whether right or wrong, there is no doubting the Bush regime's defence policy has seen the end of Saddam's rule, and in spite of repeated attempts, the coaliton are still looking to deliver Iraq back to its people within the timeframe set recently. On a military front I am glad to see some political incorrectness after years of appeasment and so-called tolerance, or shall I say weak minded liberalism, thinking that you can get a peaceful solution to everything. Purely from this angle Bush has the upper hand.

But ecologically the man is a walking disaster area. What he is proposing, substantial increases in fossil fuel power stations, expanding exploration into territories that until this regime were protected by law. The decision to rip up the Kyoto treaty because it had implications for his financial backers, the list goes on. It is statistical fact that the USA uses over a quarter of the World's entire enegry, and he is proposing to increase this still further??? The path he is treading has no sustainability planned within it. Fossil fuels have a finite life, some may even run out in our lifetimes and a good friend of mine who works in the oil industry says that natural gas is especially at risk - possibly 20 years maximum. What does the energy sponge that is the US do then? Even in the UK we are starting to look at alternatives...OK, I think we are ignoring our greatest asset - wave power, but at least there are now movements to get cleaner, more sustainable energy and to move away from fossil based generation. I see none fo this in the US energy policy.

I think I saw on the list above that gasoline is at it's highest price in history - it's still far less than half what it is here! Your cars have fuel economies that would break the average joe's bank account in the UK!

Yes, ecologially, Bush is a real scary proposition. But strangely I see nothing so far from the Democrats that make any substantial changes to what is already planned - so they aren't exactly shining examples on this subject either.

Who would I vote for? At this time Bush. Why? Because at the moment I see no substance in Democrat policy.

The reason is that if the US is portrayed as being able to do forceful and humanitarian at the same time it blows all the weak ass arguments about the aggressive invader propaganda. Liberals just can't buy into the concept that sometimes force IS the only answer to some situations, Iraq fro example, yet Haiti requires help of a different kind. Since the US has proven it can do both it serves the anti bush movement to supress this 'blip' and just keep hyping the aggression on Iraq. Nevermind the fact we got Saddam. Don't even consider it'll be under rule by Iraqi people within a set timetable. Don't even talk about the fact the military are training them how to look after themselves. Oh, and don't mention that the main aggression within Iraq at this time is by Saddam loyalists and terror organisations interested in nothing other than stopping this progress by any means necessary and at any cost. You have to blame the Bush administration for everything, and gloss over all incidents in Iraq as a consequence of the US agression there. In case these liberals hadn't noticed Iraqi people are dying at the hands of their own kind!! But do you know what the amazing thing is? Ordinary Iraqis know that we are in there to help them, not these idiot fanatics. The anti Bush movement doesn't even begin to acknowledge this small fact. I tell these people now that if Iraqi people didn't want us there they could easily turn us out. But the fact they do not tells me everything I need to know about Iraq in 2004, and that is, in spite of the casualties sustained, we did the right thing.
