This proves that even a totally anonymous Guest can make excellent observations. I feel exactly the same--I sure as hell not only never voted for Bush --for plenty of good reasons--- or anybody else I thought might support his criminally stupid war, but, as I've said before, as a registered Republican I called the White House hot line before the invasion and warned them that if Bush invaded Iraq, every picture of a dead woman or child broadcast on al-Jazeera would result in more terrorists all over the world.

QED.

Now we all have to live with the consequences.

But that still does not make it all right for civilians in the UK or the US to be blown up.

Anybody who thinks it does is just not capable of rational thought, and therefore not worth debating.

I still think Bush should be impeached, convicted and removed from office immediately, just for discontinuing, at the behest of a few US firms who do not want the workers' compensation liability, 2 programs in Russia which were securing nuclear material.
