I don't like Bush, but luckily with our system of government, Congressional leaders, Cabinet officers, military leaders and others all have a voice and certainly contribute to any actions he may call for.The terrorists must be stopped, but they are only a symptom of the situation that exists because of the unfeeling actions of the western world. This has been addressed on several threads. This one is about blaming Bush. He is merely the last of a series of leaders who have approved stupid policies over many years that have earned the United States the emnity of millions of people. Leaders of the major European nations are equally at fault but luckily for them they have a lower profile.
