Opi, I feel you're misguided. While OUR interests should be the adminstrations top priority, I don't know what you're referring to regarding the millions of deaths caused by the administration. You mentioned the "civil war" in Iraq as an example of how we are trying to a destroy a country we can't overtake. This is simply absurd. Our servicemen are dying for this cause, we're spending billions on it, and our President is taking a serious hit in the public for it. He is obviously not simply looking to kill a bunch of people, he has a serious and obvious motive, a free Iraq. To say that this effort is worthless is beyond ridiculous. There have been extensive successes in Iraq, ask a soldier. They have elected government officials. They country is fighting for its life right now, and if you don't believe me, you're wrong. If you think what we're doing is pointless, you might wanna look at the thousands of Iraqi's fighting with the Americans against the insurgents. Do you think they're doing it simply because they want civil war? They're doing it because they have had a taste of freedom and want a stable and free Iraq. In regards to your WMD comment, which is a ridiculous talking point you hear little of from the left these days (I wonder why, perhaps because we've found UN banned weapons?). I would advise everyone who hates Bush because of Iraq to read Bush at War by Bob Woodward. Woodward, by no means a Bush fan, details the process the White House went through before going to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It might open your eyes to those who thought we did it for oil or revenge for the plot against Bush Sr.

Again, your statements about "bombing the hell" out of countries is just inaccurate. We aren't doing it, Israel isn't doing it. We are both fighting against a people (terrorists), who seek to destroy us and our way of life. They do not only view Israelis as their enemy, but as a subhuman race of people. This is a group of people who will show outrage at a CARTOON in Europe, but won't blink an eye over walking into a mall and blowing up a group of Israeli women and children. They simply have no respect for human life.
