Ahmadinejad is a filthy murderous scumbag but Bush isn't good.

The evil of Bush has made scumbags like Ahmadinejad seem less scummy. That doesn't mean they are. We shouldn't let Bush improve the standing of other evil leaders.

1. Maybe we should clean up our own house before we try and

clean up their houses..

3. Or maybe we're more person than we are American

and sometimes the enemy of a leader who hurts people is just another leader who hurts people, and they're just fighting over who gets to exploit who, and we the people of Earth shouldn't let ourselves be played against each other by our bad leaders who hate each other.

2. There are leaders and there are leaders. The most important

thing that we must realize is that the leaders are not always the people. The people on this planet are always suffering because of the leaders.

I despise some leaders.

But, I make these distinctions:

Chavez and Ahmadinejad are duly elected.
Bush is ????

Nearly all the people in this country except for the religious right do not respect Bush.

Nearly all the little people in Venezuela respect Chavez - the exceptions are the people who were connected to former buyable leaders who followed the directions of U.S. oil companies, the CIA, and State Dept (read economic hit men)and are pumped up by Cuban-Americans whenever there is an attempt to remove Chavez and in fact, conduct a coup - there coup was reversed by the little people. The little people are getting education, housing, rights by rerouting oil profits.

It is said that the youth of Iran (inching near 70%) are not behind Ahmadinejad. They are said to be quite open to western and cross border cultures - much more open than their leader and the Mullahs. But, we cannot have that - Oil and Israel. We must bomb the hell out of them. Our religious right tends to have phobias about Moslems and Persians because they have had their brains washed by Dick and his helpers and Dick and George and PNACers and the barons and the reverends are crazy to kill.

Who are the fortunate people here.

4. He's a Middle Eastern leader.

You really can't judge him by Scarsdale, or even Hell's Kitchen.

And if that concept seems alien, take a look at what removing Saddam has done for Iraq.

5. Who has that oddly named guy killed and what wars has Iran started?

How is he a "murderous scumbag"?

6. I think you mean "but so is Bush"?
