My question is: do two wrongs make one right?


No, and neither do hundreds of wrongs. As I said, this commutation is peanuts compared to some of the crap that has been let slide by past presidents and hardly a blip in the radar regarding Bush Jr's status as a bad president. Given some of the comments in your earlier response from FOX (several which were so comical as to defy reason) and others made in this thread, you'd think he pardoned Charlie Manson and handed him the keys to Air Force One. The people screaming how wrong it was to reduce the sentence were silent during the other exercises of Presidential power abuse which is why I was helping put it in perspective.



The true crime we would like to see debated in court is that of a President taking a nation to war based on lies fabricated by the White House. To prove that the reasons we went to war with Iraq were lies one needs to prove what was known by whom before the war. Did the White House know that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq?

Why do about 50% of Americans still believe that there was a link between 911 and Iraq? Can you explain that to me? Where is the demonstrable logic in that?

Yeah, business as usual. That's not how this country started out, but it sure looks like that's the order of the day, from now until eternity...

Now, to cheer up the good folks at xpt, here are some heartfelt words of wisdom from our President:

"I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them." (George W. Bush)
