Your conclusions are scewed to fit your desired outcome for what you believe to be true. You are clearly a Bush supporter and anti-Kerry. Don't say you hate Bush as if that adds some legitmacy to your cause. You are a Liar or you are seriously confused.
You clearly do not understand the regional politics of the middle east.
The actions of the US in the war of Iraq have done more to push aside the moderate Arabs and Moslems in the Middle East than any action the US has taken thus far. Bush and Co. have found the best way recruit for Bin Laden's cause.
The "Born Again" president, and his staff, have succeeded in creating an atmosphere of Born Again fundamentalist Muslims and Arabs who see the US as funamentalist dictators.
Arabs and Moslems do not hate Americans. What they will tell you is that they love Americans, and they envy their way of life. But they do not like our government. You must understand the governments of the Middle East often do not represent the people, and to that end they don't see our government as representing us.
Bin Laden sees it differently. That is what he was telling us in his recent speech. He sees this as significant. We don't understand that because as Americans, we generally see our government as representing us.
In Egypt and Saudi Arabia, for example, we have propped up governments that are despised by their people. The people in these countries are poorly represented, and because we maintain these governments, the people look to the US government as the source of their pain.
If we want to create a more positive stable atmosphere in the Middle East there are many better ways to do it.
There is a reason Bush Sr. did not go into Iraq. It is because he know the factions that exist in Iraq would never allow for any sort of a stable society.
Let me tell you something that should help. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DIFFERENT! American-style democracy doesn't make sense every where. McCain said it himself, you cannot impose a democracy.
What do you think we were doing in Vietnam? The whole point was eradicate communism and perhaps to instill democracy.
The moderates in the Middle East will have a much more difficult time now. There is also a much more feverent Right Wing of radicals. Those are the ones causing problems for us in Iraq. And they are the ones that Bin Laden is recruiting.
If we want to win now we have to be seen with legitmacy. We have to gather up support, from those in Iraq and the Arab world, as well as in the rest of the world. With that support we won't be looked at as bullys but as helping the Iraqis.
Our security will be won when we can get the world back on our side.
Today, with the policies of the Bush administration, our security is in jeopardy. Our freedom is in jeopardy. We are in a precarious position.
Kerry understands our position. Bush senior understands our position. Bush junior doesn't get it or he just doesn't care.
Mr. Bush has separated us from the world, and created more enemies for us. He is destroying this country by appealing to the worst in us. His presidency is one of fear and distrust. He has divided this country.
We are weaker in this Nation and in the World today because of President Bush.
Kerry knows how to reunite this country and make it strong again. A strong country at home and in the world.
