See this news, for instance. The “milestone” was reached yesterday: 2,978 men and women, more than the 2,973 killed in the World Trade Center.
Now, since the Iraq war never had anything to do with “terrorism”, but only with a) oil, and b) being permanently “at war”, so it’s “unpatriotic” to criticize the president / government, couldn’t we look at it this way: that the Bush administration is at least guilty of as much terrorism against America as Al Qaeda?
Sure, they’ve been slower at killing Americans - took them several years, instead of just one morning. But doing it for greed and for unchecked power isn’t a more noble motive than “72 dark-eyed virgins”. The fact that Americans still let Bush get away with this, that millions still believe he’s doing a good job… is absolutely beyond me.

I’m pretty sure that any attempt to impeach him would fail.
I don’t think I’m alone in stating that I feel absolutely powerless as to who is president, and what they get (or don’t get) to do.
Look at how many protests have been held against Bush, none of them have accomplished anything exept for more publicity for the kangaroo.
I don’t think it’s that hopeless. Remember what happened to his party in the last elections.
Still didn’t change much. The fact is that the US is still occupying Iraq… AND I also noticed that these “TALKS” that were first publicized as the Bush finding the best way to exit Iraq quickly morphed into ideas about sending MORE troops there.
Basically “We’re leaving, REALLY!! and the best way TO leave is…. hmmm… let me think about that for another year.”
Still, his popularity, and that of the war itself, keep going down. There’s got to be a limit to the public’s patience…
Yeah I wonder where though.
I don’t see anything good in the future for this country.
What I see is a lot of middle class friends and family quickly becoming lower class, a government flexing it’s muscles, and huge decline in the welfare of those without health insurance. I think, if we were going to do something, we’d have done it by now.
And I realize that’s hypocritical, I myself don’t do anything about it, but what COULD I do, write my congressman?
More Americans were killed in Los Angeles too!!! Should we pull out?
I don’t understand Daryl.
Are you implying that if American’s get killed we need to stay in Iraq?
If so, where is that logic?
