The only reason Bush is against abortion and gay marriages is because that garners the vote of the religious. The US is a very religious country, and as has been proven in this recent election, it’s enough to win. Bush doesn’t care about murdering people. He is simply supporting the religious and the extreme right-wing conservatives. Let’s not forget that in the past 100 years, these are the same groups that have supported white supremacy & male supremacy.
Bush will do and say anything to get support so that he can fund his illegal wars, and reap the oil revenue.
With the money that has been spent in Iraq, there could have been enough money to save millions of lives. He could have easily saved the 200 000 children that die every week from preventable dieases in this world, and provided food and clean water for the african continent. It would actually have taken less than 10% of the resources that were wasted in Iraq. With the remainder of those resources he could have pursued fighting the war on terror of which was forgotten for the oil revenues.
Bush is a tyrant and a dictator. Seriously, you cant learn anything from watching television or reading the news. If you want real information, the best method is still by reading books by authorititative and unbiased sources.

I agree Bush certainly could have went into Africa and helped. But there’s NO OIL there- aint worth his time.
Bin Laden must love Bush. He has fanned extremist flames. The Iraq war, which Bush claims is building a safer world, has become a powerful rallying point for a bottomless supply of young extremists willing to die in a jihad.
Quote from The New Face of Al Qaeda
By Douglas Frantz, Josh Meyer,
Sebastian Rotella and Megan K. Stack.
The Los Angeles TimesSunday 26 September 2004:
Quote:Even before the Sept. 11 attacks, Al Qaeda was a loosely organized network, but core leaders exercised considerable control over its operations. Since the loss of its base in Afghanistan and many of those leaders, the organization has dispersed its operatives and reemerged as a lethal ideological movement.… “In Iraq, a problem has been created that didn’t exist there before,” said Judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere of France, dean of Europe’s anti-terrorism investigators. “The events in Iraq have had a profound impact on the entirety of the jihad movement.”
Officials warn that radical Islam is fanning extremism in moderate Islamic countries such as Morocco, where the threat of terrorism has escalated with unexpected speed and ferocity, and re-energizing adherents in old hot spots such as Kenya and Yemen.
Declaring a war against Iraq, a nation who was no threat to the U.S. was the worst possible action the Bush Administration could have taken, if their goal was to fight terrorism. But we’ve been saying that since before the war began.
Bush says the magic words “terror, terrorists, safe, safer, war against terror….” and his supporters mindlessly lap it up.
Yes, we can see that Bush has lied about the reasons behind the Iraq war. That’s hard to accept, but not impossible. What I find incredibly hard to accept is how many American Voters believe what they are told. Therein lies the danger. The only people who can stop him, won’t.
Now you have a far-right , oil loving lunatic ruling the most powerful nation on earth with a horrifying agenda and who isn’t worried about being reelected.
There is a grave danger in having one world superpower. I hope the European Union will now concentrate on building their own strength, stomp out Blair, and buy Canadian Beef and softwood.
Canada, for its part, must press hard to expand our trading overseas. The U.S. economy is sure to suffer greatly with its infinite deficit and gargantuan debt. Having the U.S. as our largest trading partner may prove fatal. Right now Canada is running a surplus budget and the dollar is rising (I’m not so happy about the american dollar falling – it’s cutting into my income!). It would be a pity to be pulled under by the wake of an American Economical collapse.
Hopefully Canada will invest the surplus into new technologies, value added industry and education – in other words, invest in the future.
