I've never flamed you because of your beliefs and how you see things. Here's how I see it because you asked. If you want to carry it further and in more detail, we can go via email.
Because of what Bush has done.
1) We invaded another sovereign nation under false pretenses.
We've now lost over 1,000 of our own troops. Many innocent civillians have died as a result of it. Survivors of that are friends and family of the Iraqi victims aren't going to forgive so easily. Some of those might even be willing to attack us in return. This is becoming a less safe world in my opinion. I don't feel safer. Had Bush said he made a mistake, I'd respect that. He wanted this war, he got his wish. Their infrastructure is a mess. No organisation. You think the avg Iraqi is going to say that they hate us while facing armed american troops? No, they are going to say they love us, all the while behind the scenes, they are supporting their own against us.
Here's my prediction: As soon as the elections take place and leaders are "elected", they'll be assasinated eventually. As long as we have a presence in Iraq, there won't be peace. They look at us as the enemy. When we finally withdraw, the UN will have to come in to keep "order" less you want to see ethnic/culture massacres.
Iraq is NOT a noble war.
2) He has continued to squander our Social Security surplus dollars to help pay for the general programs our Federal Income Taxes should be paying for.

I'll stop here (Oh I got more reasons).
