I guess GWB is going to get blamed for everything wrong in the world. Okay fine. Vote him out, get the next one in and we can blame him for awhile! I don't really care if he's a dem or rep, just so we got someone to blame!
Some of you are still concered GWB stole the election. Old stuff, history, get over it. He shouldn't have absolute power, tuff. He's allready got it. As commander in chief, and the duly(?) elected boss, he has command of the most destructive force the world has ever known, ie a nuke arsenal with enuff force to wipe out the world as we know it. I still sleep good at night, how you doing?
I've seen some comments of concern for the fate of terrorists. Last time I checked, no terrorist group has ever agreed to, signed or had anything to do with the Geneva Accord or accepted "rules of war". They are outlaws by any definition, therefore they operate outside any rule of law, they've effectively lost any rights of law.
Speaking of rights, you may have to consider, for the security of yourself and yours, that some your so called rights may have to be compromised.
If the NSA feels the need to listen in on my phone, or check this post to see if I'm planning on overthrowing the gov't next week, I'm not happy about it, but if that's what it takes (and I don't see any other effective way to do it), so be it. If another 9/11 could be headed off by unrestricted monitering of phones/internet, I don't think I'd want to stand in the way of that, would you?
I see a lot of reasons why we're in the situation we now face with plenty of blame for all. Consider if you will the fact that the CIA was pretty well castrated back 15-20 yrs ago, which led to the present day inability to accuratly gather information regarding (for example) WMD's in Iraq, does he have 'em, or not? The inspectors sent by the UN never determined for sure the status of those weapons. The only solution, send the troops, check it out.
