Those that think the war in Iraq was a mistake are going to go down in history being viewed as short-sighted in my opinon.

The war is a watershed event in the Middle East. The war will be won, peace will be achieved and other nations in the region will begin to consider their stances on supporting dictators and terrorists.

I just want to go on record for the ages and state that I stand behind this war and believe it was the right thing to do. We will see it through until the end.

Another example of the sacrifices Americans are willing to endure in order to do the right thing. Bush is a great leader and I thank God that he has the guts and honesty to make the difficult, unpopular decisions necessary for someone in his position.

Way to go America, Britain, Australia, Poland, Spain, and ALL of our other allies. We did the right thing.

I predict that 50 years from now, Iraq will be torn apart by civil wars and Bush will be remembered as the architect of this mess.

I probably won't be around then, but I don't believe that at all.

Look at the bright side... while they're busily killing each other, we'll be safe.

I believe we've discussed this before.

While I'm sympathetic to the idea that establishing a true democracy (or two) in the Middle East would indeed be a good thing for the world, I'm totally unsympathetic to the idea that the US can invade a sovereign nation and remove its government without having a reason that is valid under Just War theory.

Had they found WMD, I think that could be construed as such a reason.

I admit I was willing to give the administration the benefit of the doubt on their WMD claims and I did support the invasion at that time.

However, at that time I also stated that WMD would have to be found at some point in order for me to continue to support the administration's sending our sons and daughters to war. I also stated that if WMD's were not found, the President would have to be held accountable for invading a sovereign nation without just cause.

I have written my Congressional Representatives about this and I will not vote for Bush.

I won't vote for Kerry either. So, I'm Libertarian this time around.

Like Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.

George Bush will be remembered as far more than an architect.

He will go down (and I'm certain that I'll live to see it), as the worst President that the United States has ever had.

Heh...yeah, I bet he will. I mean after all, there won't be any more after he gets out of office, right?

Damn Nash, I used to think you had brains. Making a statement like that based on the (relatively) small time-frame of a 4 years in US history seems retarded actualy.

Makes me wonder what you think of Kennedy or Johnson.

Man, you need to open your mind just a little.

The measure of the man is that he really doesn't give a rat's bellybutton about his "legacy". He will do what he thinks is right. If that differs from your opinon, that is fine, vote.

amen. Bush did the right thing.

Fine...

But thinking or not thinking about legacy is beside the point.

Legacy happens regardless.

Bush's will be one of national shame.

Some people say that we should have national shame for dropping the Atomic Bomb. I beg to differ with them, about that, and with you, about Iraq.

How luscious for you Lizking.

Bush will eventually be remembered as a man with vision. The rest won't, be remembered that is.

I am a luscious kind of guy.
