that's the truth.
there is also something to say about bush's agenda pre-2000 election. mainly, he most likely wanted to overthrow saddam even before terrorism was a concern. i'm not saying this justifies the war in any way, because it doesn't. i'm saying bush is not the stupidest person in the world, and he is surrounded by a few neo-cons that are smarter then everyone on this board. they took a crazy situation and fed on america's fears of terrorism in the middle east and attained a blank check from congress to take over countries of their choice. what was their choice? iraq.
and PS i blame corzine far more for the diluting and price gouging that will characterize NJ public education next year then president bush. NJ has often treated their best student like crap, hence the concern of the "brain drain" - the steady loss of NJ's best and brightest.
