This is an unjust war and I just hope he can clean up what hes messed up.
This is not an "unjust war", just a war that was put off too long, and then acted upon at the wrong time. This war should not have happened on Bush's watch. I was never a big "WMD" argument fan. Saddam had violated just about every part of the cease fire agreement that was signed with Bush Sr. Clinton should have put Saddam in his place a long time ago, and forced him to accept weapons inspectors with FULL access.
I do agree the timing on this was wrong. Our leaders thought this would be easier than it was in dealing with the post Saddam era, as did most Americans I think. I believe, as most others do, that we should have gotten bin Laden first, then moved on to Iraq, or wherever else was necessary.
Bush is and was president, but I think he should replace Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, though. These two haved caused the most problems as advisors. I respect them both, but their time has passed. They are cold war advisors, and I don't think they can deal with the world in it's current state. They both are the reason Bush agreed to invade Iraq, and they both are the force AGAINST the Powell Doctrine, which is to not send the US military into any battle without sufficient forces and without an exit strategy. Powell did play his part as a "team" player, but he was against these guys from day 1.
I know we'll all get through this OK. I believe in Karma. I honestly believe that W will head back towards the middle and get us through this OK.
Kerry probably would have too.
It's too bad we didn't really have a choice. We voted on whether the glass was half full or half empty. A slight majority voted it's half full.
Maybe next time around we'll have a candidate that represents the majority of Americans and takes a stand in the middle, where the majority of Americans abide.
I doubt it, though.
