why the internet doesn’t exist anymore:

you’re not allowed to post certain non-offensive content/file formats

you have to log in to do anything!

it is one long barrage of commercials inturrupting our train of thought, the
original real strength of the internet — intellectual conduciveness

its fucking ugly! boxes! boxes! boxes! that, or lame LAME flash

everybody acts like either A: an idiot, or B: a super-intellectual who spends time
with the elite minds of the world

nothing is truly “free” anymore.

death of the “personal homepage”, its been socialised by “myspace”

Bush by: dh http://www.mountaintop.com/archives/2007/07/12/1340/#comment-3780 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:33:24 +0000 http://www.mountaintop.com/archives/2007/07/12/1340/#comment-3780 You mention in your final sentence indirectly a poll. For a leader to be successful he mustn't base that leadership on polls. I believe it is the impatience of the American public not the leadership of Bush that is to blame. Bush even mentioned that it would take years and a resolution on the part of America to stand by the people of Iraq and even with that, at the time, America stood by Bush. Bush was straight forward all along. He even mentioned other things besides WMD to go after the Saddam regime on. The American public forgets that. It seems the American public with its views have "selective memory". You mention in your final sentence indirectly a poll. For a leader to be successful he mustn’t base that leadership on polls.

It isn't a "dubious connection" but a legitimate one. Also, there is no civil war in Iraq going on. We have an insurgency going on from an extreme minority. There is a difference. Also, the fact they found bomb shells dated 2001 in 2003 in violation of the UN resolutions of 1992 shows there are no lies going on. The fact remains is that everyone I know, even those against Bush, agree that Saddam out of power was a good thing. The fact remains from that observation that the only way for Saddam to get out of power was by force. However, I do agree with you more diplomacy should have been done. However, I totally believe any more negotiation with that tyrannt after decades of negotiation would have been to no avail. It isn’t a lie because we do have Al Quida inIraq.

No stopping Bush in this regard. If I recall, when he declared attacking Iraq, he said it would be a long 10 year war. It hasn't been 10 years and he's determined to stay the course. If you think about it, this is the only place left for him to redeem himself in the next two years. No chance he's getting anything done on the homefront. Yes, it's a sad direction we're headed in.
