1. Do you think the President did the right thing by Attacking Iraq?
2. Do you think Iraq Posed a Threat to other countries (regardless of it being eminent or not)?
3. Do you think that George W. Bush is a Moral man trying to do the right thing?
4. Do you think that he is an evil man trying to kill just to achieve his own personal agenda?
5. Do you think we should support a country (France) that has been helping a known terrorist country for years?
6. Do you think the US (currently) is the best country in the world?
7. Would you more apt to questioning anything a conservative speaker says simply because he is conservative rather than a liberal (be honest)?
8. Has George Bush done everything he told us he would do when all this started? Explain

some of these questions i believe to be irrelevant, such as #5

1. i think the president was wrong in attacking Iraq. I have not and will not ever support the idea of Preemption. The policy of attacking a nation because you fear that it might someday attack you boggles my mind. If that was the case, then we have a long long long hard road ahead of us. I also disagree with unilateral attacks on soverign nations. To completely rework foreign policy the way this administration has done has completely uprooted all ideas of past foreign policy.
2. No i don't think Iraq posed a serious threat to other countries. To this day, no weapons have been found, and lets not forget that that WAS OUR MAIN CAUSE FOR ACTION. No matter how you want to spin it, that was primary reason for entering Iraq. I have a question for you. Do you believe N Korea poses a threat to other nations and or the US? If you do, do you believe we should deploy our military? If not, then your a hypocrite.
4. No, i do not think BUsh is evil. I dont really believe there are many truly evil people in this world. I just think bush is , shall i say, dumb. I have no doubt in my mind that bush is a wonderful father, husband, and an all around nice guy. I also have no doubt that Bush would be a blast to play golf with, or go hunting with. But in my mind, some people are not cut out to run a country. And just cause he's an amicable guy, doesn't mean he should be our leader and chief executive. And yes, i do belive we went to war in Iraq in part because of his personal vendetta against Saddam, and because of oil. Go research into something called the PNAC (Project for the New American Century) Please look this up on google, and read some stuff about before you reply.
6. Now this is the question that bothers me the most. Liberal, conservative, independant....it doesnt matter what affiliation you are a part of. You can love this country just the same. Yes i love america, and would never want to live anywhere else in the world. But i hate the way the patriatism card gets played when it comes to war in Iraq. Right now im watching Andy Rodd*ck get his butt wooped on the US OPEN....yet im pulling for him for the sole reason that he's an american. But does this mean that i should not be allowed to criticize, or voice my opinions on what needs repair in this country. If you disagree with doing those things, then you are going against every foundation with which this country was founded. If it wasn't for people like Thomas Jefferson who actually questioned authority and where we were being led, then we'd all probably be still bowing to the Queen Mother. Just because i disapprove of our current administration, does not mean i love this country any less than you do. Im just not blinded by patriotism
8. No bush hasn't done everything he said he would. He has not yet found Bin Laden, which was the first promise. He has not yet found Saddam, which was another promise. He has not stabilized or rebuilt Iraq. He has not completely disbursed of Al Queada. He has not led a truthfull executive office like he promised in his campaign. Give me a while to think of some more....and I don't want to hear : "well he hasn't had time to.........(fill in the blank)." Your question to me was, "has he done what he said", and as of yet, he hasn't.
