You are sooo very convinced that Bush is at fault for every conflict and every bad thing that is going on in the Middle East. I'm not trying to change your mind, because I won't. You've made yours up, but some of us still believe that what is wrong in that area and in much of the world is Muslim extremism. You don't see it that way. You think what is wrong in the world is bad leadership at home and abroad. I wish it was that simple. What is wrong in the world is a lot of people, Muslim extremists, want to erradicate anyone who is not of that belief system. What really bumfuzzles me is that you are more outraged about the perceived bad leadership you see going on in the world than you are of people who want to eliminate another people from the face of the Earth(and that *other people* includes anyone that is not of their belief system). From your stated beliefs one would expect you to be more outraged about that than a perceived bad president. Whether you like it or not Israel has been our ally. They have lived for years beside of people who want to wipe them off the face of the Earth. Yes, they may have gotten a little trigger happy over a couple of kidnappings, but Israel lives in a daily threat/presence of terrorism that we cannot even fathom or imagine. I have a friend who narrowly missed being on a bus that was suicide bombed three years ago. The only reason she wasn't on that bus is because she had forgotten something in her apartment and had to turn around and go and get it.
Israel being a puppet of the Bush administration. I believe that would fall really well into your theory that Bush is screwing up the world, but I think you are in a minority because nowhere except for extreme left blogs do I even hear that theory being tossed around as legitimate.
