Answer 2

Bush, believes because he has been “born again”, “nothing [he] dose can be challenged on moral grounds, however unethical or evil it might appear, because all of his actions are directed by God. He can twist the truth, oppress the poor, exalt the rich, despoil the earth, ignore the law--and murder children--without the slightest compunction, the briefest moment of doubt or self-reflection, because he believes, he truly believes, that God squats in his brainpan and tells him what to do. Furthermore, according to Bob Woodward, the author of Bush at War, the president has told his advisers that he does not worry about alienating other nations. “At some point we may be the only one left” he has said. “That’s OK with me. We are America. Iraq already is showing the cracks in the American empire’s foundation and may prove to be the prelude to its inevitable crash landing.

George W. Bush, was reasserting the powerful and dangerous collective self-delusion that America is a uniquely privileged nation, set apart from history and embodying a divine mission. This deep-rooted sense of American exceptionalism that goes back to the Puritans underlies the justifications for the creation of a new, benign American empire .

Sadly, most Americans don't have an opinion about their country foreign policy. “Worse than that”, Ramsey Clark, former attorney general said, “when they do think about it, it's in terms of the demonization of enemies and the exaltation of our capacity for violence”.

According to Richard Falk, the distinguished Professor of International Law and Practice, “this Iraq war is a war of aggression and, as such, that it amounts to a Crime against Peace of the sort for which surviving German leaders were indicted, prosecuted and punished at the Nuremberg trials conducted shortly after the Second World War.

Answer 3

How about this:
d. We have a job to do and should see it through to the end.

The reasons we are their might suck and it might have been bad intelligence that got us there, but now that we are there, we must finish what we've started. Leaving a bunch of innocent people to die during what would most definitely be a very bloody and ugly civil war would probably be what he is talking about when saying that we would lose "our soul as a nation." Just a guess here.

Answer 4

Umm!
Let me think....................Bush is skating on V thin ice with some of his decisions of late.
I think if the truth B known he's starting 2 realise that the great American public is starting 2 C thru his deceptions/plans-within-plans & now what no part of his Policies at present or in the future.

Bush is a
Meglomanic, paranoid religious Freak & has a Very limited grasp of the reality.
Scary man 2 B in charge of a Nation, huh?

Answer 5

Yeah yeah, usa would not have a soul. i comprehend you probably did no longer mean a literal soul. inspite of each little thing, how ought to you? there is not any longer such element!! yet confident, so some distance as usa going way off the deep-end, i would not concern lots approximately that. inspite of each little thing, whilst has usa ever somewhat completed the noble top element? as an occasion, this united states became into in accordance with slavery and genocide. in certainty, the main important genocide in the historic previous of the human race became into dedicated right here, and in accordance to the regulations of the convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, of which usa is a signing occasion, the genocide of interior of reach people hasn't even ended yet.

Answer 6

Primarily C. Thought I agree "all of the above" is also likely.

But it shows a fundamentalist perspective. If you can't argue for or against something based on logic or rational explanations, invoke religion. That will usually get enough people upset on both ends of the spectrum to obscure whatever you're talking about.
