AssPiper you make some very good and valid points, but you are taking a hard line right wing approach. Bush hasn't done anything yet that is terrble (yes I said it, though I don't like him anyways) but he has setup some systems that could allow him or another to do some terrible things (The Patriot Act). He also increased the cycle of hate in the middle east towards westerners with his blunt hammer called the military. Everything else that has gone wrong can't be directly pinned on Bush, most of it comes from the Hawks and various advisors. Don't joke yourself though, he hasn't spent this much money on defence and offensive military devices recently just to sit on it and pick the petals off of a flower. Something terrible will happen sooner or later, if anything Bush is just the setup man. Kerry could turn out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, remember he turned his back on all the Vietnam vets and committed some atrocities of his own during the Vietnam war. Only later to turn around and deny them.
Just remember anyone that vies for power is most likely a psychopath. The true king should always be the man who least wants it.
