Nikki, all those things you blamed on President Bush is just ridiculous.
I don't even know where to start to respond to your ramblings but here goes.
The African Aids issue. If you look at the number, the United States is contributing more money than any other country to fight Aids in Africa. The rest of the world just wants us to give more because we are more successful to them. Plus that is not really up to President Bush. Congress decides issues like that.
The war on drugs has been a disaster for a LONG time. That cannot be blamed on President Bush. It is a flawed concept that will never work the way it is being enforced right now.
The war in Iraq. President Bush acted on Intelligence provided to him by our intelligence agencies. It was later proven that these reports were false. President Bush really had no way of knowing how advanced Iraq was with weapons of mass destruction. Also you have to remember that our Congress was provided with the same intelligence reports that the President was and they voted to allow military action against Iraq. If you go back to President Clintons days in the White House, he considered Sadaam Hussein a very dangerous threat. The Clinton White House thought that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Several high ranking democrats thought so at the time too. It is still not been proven that they did not have weapons of mass destruction and got them into Iran or some other country before we took control of Iraq.
The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes.

I can't agree with you, yes George Bush is a moron.
You are entitled to your opinion, and I respect that.
I was just wanting to get another point of view out there. That is what General Discussion is for.
Keep up the posting. Nice to see a new poster that contributes regularly.
Well, thankyou. For respecting my opinion and myself. Yeah, do post alot now. I think be on this website so much, to the point. I just stay on here, look at threads and whatnot.
Because African people...Don't have the same resources like US. You think African people don't suffer ? yeah must admit that person told a idiot, was right about you sending money over there. Then another thing, us American people, have everything in a way. Yes do will admit, we do have people here, that needs help too. You don't even stop to see thoses kids over there in Africa/ or other places. That be f*cking flies in their face...living on the ground in huts, you don't care ? shame on you. I do feel guilty, that be spending my money on other things, should give them money, which I will.
Trillion dollars on the war, WAS A TOTALLY SHITWASTE. That money could have gone to important things
1. Education
2. Health
3. Ecomony
Just important resources for America. Not to waste on a war, that didn't have any ''meaning''.
What was are purpose going over there ? then. NOTHING JACK SHIT !
If you think the money you give actually goes to Africa itself then wake up and smell the freshly brewed coffee, NEVER give your money to a charity organization, that is like giving your wallet to a stranger.

Well, yeah I can get you. Its like when people give money to preachers, they intend to used their money to buy their ''luxury goods'', they buy big expensive houses, cars and other things. I seen this topic on 20/20 on Abc. Talking about preachers used their money to buy things, they be greedy and they know it !
