It amazes me that Jimmy T, Doug R, or any other Bush supporter can say that Bush is better when it comes to "protecting us from the terroristic issues" (Jimmy T--Neither Candidate-13 Oct 3:19 PM.)

Bush's needless invasion of Iraq has in fact produced far more terrorists than there were previously; specifically through "collateral damage", a chillingly clinical term for people being killed inadvertently. As I told the White House comment line just before the invasion, and have said here several times, for every dead woman or child due to US action, broadcast on al-Jazeera, there will be at least one more terrorist.

Far from learning from this, Bush and his supporters show every indication of using pre-emptive unilateral war as a foreign policy regarding North Korea, Iran. (and then who?). The thought processes necessary to reach the decision to start a war are sadly lacking in Mr. Bush and his cohorts.

Added to this, what kind of example do you think pre-emptive war shows to the rest of the world? Would you like India or Pakistan, China or Taiwan, Russia etc. to learn from Mr. Bush's example?

As I have said before, I am a registered Republican who, with other thoughtful Republicans, abhors Mr. Bush's cavalier attitude toward foreign policy, specifically toward the most serious decision any human can make---to start a war.
