Like me, most of you dont know enough to make a educated decision on this.

[Jorsoft]

I disapprove. I'd get into why but I've already said it before and I don't feel like getting into any flames here.

agreed...I'll also blatantly admit that I don't know near enough as well so I just make comments in which I know are based on something, which really isn't a lot.

Had Kerry, Gore, or even Clinton been in office on 9/11, they'd have bent over backwards, kissed bin Laden's rear-end, and asked him if he needed anything else while they were down there.

Trotter, are you serious man?.. Why would you even say this?.. Something tells me that on 9/11, none of the above mentioned people would have stared blank eyed at the video camera like a retard, and then proceeded to read the book right where he left off....

As for Iraq, I don't have a problem with it. And I do have a horse in that race... my daughter just joined the Navy, so what is going on with the millitary has become EXTREMELY important to me.

I am sure it has. And I wish her luck.

WMDs? No, they didn't find them. But they did find where they had been made, where they had been stored, and hundreds of thousands of bodies killed by them. But no evidence of them... riiiiiiiiiight.

huhh???.. Please cite your source.

It would be somewhat difficult to hide evidence of this magnitude. Had they found ANYTHING, and I mean anything, the US government would've bought pages in the New York Times to "advertise" such findings.. *cough*..

They've got nothing.

even if there were no WMD's, I think getting rid of Saddam was good for Iraq. the Iraqis hated him

Well how nice for them. I am sure all of them are thanking you (US citizens) for their liberation. Oh wait.. The insurgency..

Want me to list a few more places that need "liberation"??.. Take out your wallets out boys! .. Time to make a huge donation to the government. You guys are in the business of liberating random countries now..

before WW2, the US was not agressive towards other countries.

America has always been aggresive, ever heard of Manifest Destiny?

lets face it, WW2 was won because of the US

If we are referring to the Pacific theatre of WW2 then I'd agree with you, but American involvement in the European theatre can't even compare to the struggle of the Soviets

and we didn't become communists because of the US (the cold war) - communism doesn't really work well with the people. the Berlin Wall was up because the Russians tried to stop people fleeing to the West.

Now who's to say such and such country can and can't practice communism...

when there is a problem, like Iraq, or the terrorists, George Bush actually does something. if he didn't, there would most likely have been other big terrorist attacks similar to September 11, and Saddam would still have been in control of Iraq. - the Iraqis did hate Saddam. look what happened when they tore his statue down. the Iraqis went and attacked it.

The War of Terrorism is a joke...ever heard of Bojinka? It was days away from becoming the largest terrorist attack prior to 911 and it was foiled by a complete fluke

You can't eliminate terrorism by invading other countries...if you really think that's making the world a safer place then perhaps you need to look up some people like Eric Robert Rudolph or Theodore Kaczynski or Timothy McVeigh

Well, if there was an in between I would have gone for that. However, I voted approve, even though I don't like some of the things that he is doing.

I think Kerry though, would have made things worse.

[Nubius]

well.....honestly if you're gonna do something like 'approve' or 'disapprove' bush....then you need to live in our country

cause after all, it's implied of to the effect of 'do you approve or disapprove of bush and what he's doing for our country'

of course a lot of other countries who only see what media tells them would be quick to disapprove, no surprise there...been very few presidents in which they didn't. Buuut meh, when war is involved it's never popular
