When will there be an end to Bush's tyranny in Iraq?

Answer 1

Actually, we are fortunate that our military is killing Islamists.

Answer 2

"The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll
data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source,
right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy
with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is
unhappy with the performance of the president. In essence 2/3s of the
citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.


So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What we are so
unhappy about?'' Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week? Is our unhappiness the result of having air
conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? Could it be that 95.4
percent of these unhappy folks have a job? Maybe it is the ability to walk
into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur
has seen in the last year?


Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic
Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through
each state? Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find
along the way that can provide temporary shelter? I guess having thousands
of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good
enough. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show
up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you
to the hospital.


Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may
be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of
trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to
extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings. Or
if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or
prowler intrudes , an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest
will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss. This all in
the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and
pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own
cell phones and computers.


How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy
that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that is what has 67
percent of you folks unhappy.


Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world
has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain
for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in
the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have , and what
we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.


I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no
plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval
rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days
after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of
recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the
book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from
terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is
out there defending you and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on
the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so
unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good
things and be glad?


Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually
caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was
failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake
about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and
in many cases may have died for your freedom.


There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They
are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an
''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a
''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.


So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of
Americans? Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it
leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash
with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the
corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.
They offer what sells , and when criticized, try to defend their actions by
"justifying" them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a
murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his
wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane! Stop buying
the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn
Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage.


Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is
exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on
Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and
appreciative." "With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud
slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end
to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we
sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

Answer 3

When there is a start to it. Always remember that the democrats made the case for WMD's and also voted for it in congress. Selective memory?

So trying to give Iraq a chance to be a democracy is tyranny? What are you, a communist?

Answer 4

How come you never came around to ask similar question about a very long tenure of Saddam's tyranny?Bush is no match for Saddam in torturing and depriving Iraqis of a decent life.Wake up and go into details before making a baseless statement like above.

Answer 5

Bush is not a tyran ... Congress has final say over him since it takes their congressional signature to authorize any money given out and the judicial branch checks over them as well. My guess is you listen to the news only instead of looking up what is happening and talking to soldiers that have been there. The news is biased there fore ... not a very reliable source when it comes down to what is and is not happening on a personal basis. Any soldiers I know that have been there or have buddies there say the position we hold is a hell of a lot stronger protection wise for the Iraqs than most of the US knows about.

Answer 6

There never was any Bush tyranny in Iraq. But there WILL be freedom and democracy, why does that bother you so?

Answer 7

Bush's tyranny ends in 15 months.

America's tyranny will continue for at least two years, and possibly much longer depending on who wins the election and what their policies are.

Answer 8

When will you learn to stop making such broad unsupported statements and learn the meaning of the word tyranny?
Let me see he controls the press, the right to bear arms, the court system, movement of individuals from city to city and provience to provience, he controls news media, he controls the right of speech in mosque and elsewhere, he executes those opposed to his rule<---all of these are acts of tyranny.

Answer 9

The problem is not Bush's tyranny but his cluelessness. Terrorism is as old as time itself. Declaring war on terrorism is as delusional as declaring war on the weather. How does one win a war on terror? Do we get signed affidavits from every person on earth that they will no longer participate in terror? It's the silliest thing I ever heard!

Answer 10

Never, I hope. There again, if we could just bottle up that part of the region and keep them from bothering the rest of the world, that would be fine with me. The best thing, to me, personally, would be to let Israel do as their government thinks best, and lend at least air and cruise missile support.

Answer 11

When did it start? One mans Tyrant is another's Liberator
Ask Sean Penn, he thinks Yugo Chavez is a Liberator and not the Tyrant that he truly is
