Doug R,

You might want to leave out the "you liberals" if you wish to make a point. Actually, I do have some compassion for Bush. I believe that he is probably emotionally disturbed and is obsessed with avenging the threats to his father. I believe that he also feels that it's his right for him to have his oil interests. I don't hate the guy. I feel that his administration is taking the country down the wrong path. It's a kind of World War II mythology that Sadam is a "Hitler" and this requires the same kind of policy that was prevalent then. It's out of date and of synch with the world today. In that way, Bush is an anachronism. If he does have information about "terrorism" that the public should know, why doesn't he share it? Why all this secrecy? Why all this hysteria?

I agree that name-calling doesn't get it. I am a liberal (even left of that) that believes that issues need to be discussed, not personalities dissed.
