The Real Enemy
There’s a good debate going on in the Freethought forums on the US election which is definitely worth checking out. A big Bush fan (and I still can’t, for the life of me, figure out why this guy is so popular among his devout supporters) says that Bush is ahead of his time since he’s been able to adjust to the post-9/11 world.
My opinion is basically that the opposite is true. Bush sent troops into Iraq despite the fact that Saddam had no connections to Al Quaeda whatsoever. He’s undergoing a costly missile defense shield which likely won’t work when we know terrorists will not be using intercontinental missiles to attack the US. If anything the heaps of money poured into Iraq and Star Wars should be spent on security, intelligence, border security and strikes against known terrorist groups. Airplane bombs, ships of explosives being sailed into ports, bio-weapons in a subway system, suitcase bombs…these are where the threats of the future will come from. Not from Iraq or intercontinental missiles.

I think you're expecting a lot from a guy who says things like:
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —George W. Bush, Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004
"I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?'" —George W. Bush, Beaverton, Oregon, Aug. 13, 2004
"Let me put it to you bluntly. In a changing world, we want more people to have control over your own life." —George W. Bush, Annandale, Va, Aug. 9, 2004
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004
And the list goes on and on....
