"Just as ruthless and indifferent to the rule of law as his predecessor." Ouch.

191. I understand you position, but pre-empive war,

is not only a violation of international law, but it is exactly what brings us the kind of blow-back we experienced on 9-11.

We funded bin Laden, we created a Frankenstein, then he came back to get us.

Instead of doing solid police work and arresting bin Laden or sending in seal team six (the Taliban offered to turn him over to an international court and GWB refused, the moron), we bankrupted our country on wars that are not only pointless - they are achieving a negative result - ie, making Americans less safe and creating more enemies.

Because when you murder someones children, you create generations of blowback.... of course that's exactly what the war pigs love and foster - more war, more violence, more dead children and more profits.

The analogy you should be using is that your neighbor is beating his wife and kids, but when you go over there and tell him it's time for him to leave, he says, "God No! I'm the only one who can fix this problem", sadly he does not even realize, he is the problem.
