With respect to the war: No insult here, but isn't it possible that you have been deceived? Read the following quotes and then consider the rhetoric coming from Bush. Sound familiar?
"Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goering (1893-1946 leading member of the Nazi Party, second in command of the Third Reich, and commander of the Luftwaffe.)
Now consider:
"Wars are seldom caused by spontaneous hatreds between people, for peoples in general are too ignorant of one another to have grievances and too indifferent to what goes on beyond their borders to plan conquests. They must be urged to the slaughter by politicians who know how to alarm them."
-- Henry Mencken
