Why are these people coming forth? Is it that they know it's the right thing to do considering what Bush has done and is doing to our country? Are they simply covering their asses in case Bush loses in November and investigations of illegalities begin? And they all support the notion that Bush and his cronies had plans to go into Iraq, one way or another. They just needed an excuse, real or not. They got 9/11.

Now, for damage control Bush is spouting yet another variation of "The Ends Justifies The Means" - that is, the world is better off without Hussein.

Agreed, but...


- There's quite a few rulers the world would be better off without. Yet we're not actively invading those countries because what's in it for us (the Administration).


- It wasn't worth lives lost and the worldly loss of American crediibility. Especially in light of the point above. Are we now the world keepers?


- Why not finish the job first with bin Laden while finding real, fact-supported reasons for invading Iraq. Or was there another higher priority for Bush?

It's tiring to read the same old letters from brain-dead Puckered Rightists that if we hadn't removed Hussein, New York or Washington might be a nuclear wasteland by now. I said a year ago - *IF* Hussein ever had nuclear weapons he wouldn't have wasted them on the U.S., not when Israel is right there. Likely he wouldn't have used them at all, knowing what the response would be from Israel and the U.S.. The whole WMD argument was a sham. Even Bush has said in his own limited way as much. We've seen Bush's damage control. He went from a definitive "They have WMDs." to "They have the capability for WMDs" to "Suspect intelligence but...". You can call Kerry a flip-flop, but Bush is an outright manipulator and liar. He has not made the United States or even the World safer by his actions. Terrorism is on the rise and Bush and his cabal are directly to blame.

Meanwhile the stupid eye-for-an-eye brutality continues in Israel. If the End justifies the Mean, why don't we put an end to the violence in Israel by wiping out the Palestinian and Israeli leaderships and instituting democracies for both peoples. Halliburton can have another unchallenged contract. Or better still...nuke the whole friggin' Middle East. Surely, if God loves or prefers Judaism, Christianity, or Islam, God will prevent the appropriate missiles from exploding. Whomever God protects gets to rule what's left.
