I wasn't responding to the points you made in your posts. I was simply commenting on your statement that you admire Bush for being unselfish. I hardly think that is worth admiring in someone like him.
BTW - I am not a Bush hater. Given the events of 9/11, I think we are better off with Bush in the white house than we would have been with Gore. I don't think Gore would have invaded Afghanistan, which was necessary to dismantle the Taliban.
I am certin that Gore would have never invaded Iraq. And after we did invade Iraq, the reality is that Iraq and its surrounding regions are now where the terrorists have focused much of their activities. However awful that is for those poor kids in the US military getting killed and maimed every day in Iraq, its keeps the terrorist activity away from US soil.
I don't believe that this was an unintended consequence of invading Iraq. I think it was an intended consequence.
