Hmm well where do I start:
1. Because of our actions Libya dismantled it's WMD program -

2. If I remember correctly Iraq had 17 sanctions against them imposed by the UN, were we just suppose to keep going, 18, 19, 20 without any enforcement?
3. We have not been attacked since 9/11
4. Many terrorist are now dead
over there and not over here because of the war.
5. We have not been attacked since 9/11
Now lets say, Iraq had WMD's, the Bush administration did nothing and something horrible happened, this discussion would be: "We were attacked, the Bush administration KNEW they had WMD's and did absolutely nothing, WHY???"
It just can't go both ways. I admire Pesident Bush for having the leadership to make decisions and stick with them regardless of opinion polls, emotions etc.....
I for one am very happy that his approval ratings are very very low because it means he is DOING something. The President who stands there and makes happy feel good speeches and does absolutely nothing to **** of the people and talks about "Building Bridges" will always have great approval ratings however in the end they have done nothing they were hired to do. It's a fickle world out there.
