The best any of us can do is gather as much information as possible and make a decision from there.
You speak true CS. But also, UL, I must add that it is WAYYYYY to convenient to suggest that we trust what Bush and his insidious band of zealots and power brokers simply because they might know something we don't. You suggest an uncommon level of blind trust to mean (and women) who have not shown that they have the best interests of the common man at heart.

But I do understand your postion somewhat. Even TC eventually delivered the white gold into the hands of the despiser himself.

I don't believe in pure evil in humans... not even in Hitler... I just don't. :P

People have comtempt for others... but they weren't born that way... They were made it... by what has happened in their lives... not because they are pure evil.

bleh, why do you believe that I'm suggesting blind trust in the man? I'm by no means that extreme; I'm just asking you to give him the "benefit of the doubt." I think that the word "evil" is a bit harsh to use just because a (possibly) bad decision had negative consequences.

Didn't mean to imply anything untoward, my fellow poster! It's just that Bush has been the kind recipient of our collective benefit of doubt for 4 miserable years now. He has wasted our goodwill (and that of the world post 9-11) on actions across the globe that could make another Kevin out of him!
