We have continued to lead the world in foreign aid, and we have liberated two horribly oppressed countries that were ruled by international terrorist governments. Stick around, and you will eventually see how much better those countries become. Bush is hated by the world now, but he will be a hero in the history books. People are going to laugh about how hated he was because it will seem ridiculous.

Sadly, I can understand where you are coming from with this. Hell, I even hope you are right. But the question is, do the ends always justify the means? I mean, Bush isn't hated for no reason. He is a jackass who thinks the president should be able to do whatever he/she wants with no checks, and his cronies in the administration are the biggest bunch of slimy, controlling, lying assholes I've ever seen in the White House (Cheney: well, I'm actually in the legislative branch (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and, well, yeah when I want to be Im in the executive, but actually part of neither, so yeah, I can do whatever I want, Gonzales: Next question. Next question. Next question. No, I'm actually refusing to answer any questions, except for my [outright lies]). I can see how you might be able to support this administration if you think the ends justify the means, however, I happen to not be of that opinion. I'm not playing party lines either, I know lying goes on on both sides. Don't you think humans should have a little more respect for other humans? Because I get the strong feeling that if Cheney or Bush could push a button, kill me and you with no consequences, and make $10, they would do it. I don't think anyone like that, no matter what they did, should be remembered fondly.

/end rant

The whole Bush hating trend will have disasterous effects to our nation. Future presidents will be afraid to make any decisions for fear of going through what George Bush has.
