oh. my. god. the man is an unbelievable idiot.

The stupidity of the man known as George W. Bush is at levels that are simply impossible to fathom. In this link George compares today's wars of choice, most specifically Iraq, to WWII. The errors of comparison here are so grave that they have to be pointed out. This simply comparison made by the 'leader' of the most powerful nation on earth shows why stupid should not be left at the controls. on the statistically impossible chance that someone might actually read this let's try to enlighten him shall we? First WWII was fought against the Axis powers. These people had entire countries, organized military forces and had actually mobilized and conquered several other countries. Second when the Axis was defeated these governments actually surrendered unconditionally. Once rebuilding of their countries infrastructure began they weren't still fighting us. We weren't rebuilding Germany amidst insurgency, were we? The most important thing to realize is that even though there may be some remote similarities to today's 'terrorists' the differences are vast. You see the paradigm has changed. Today's information network and technology has made it possible for an angry empowered individual or small number of individuals to wreak death and destruction that during the era of WWII required an entire country and military. Think! There were 19 hijackers on sept 11. If we are to use George's WWII logic then by the fact that there were 15 of them from Saudi Arabia shouldn't we have attacked the Saudis? There is something else at play here and Mr. Bush isn't talking about it. To attack countries in this supposed 'war on terror' (how do you declare war on a tactic?) is exactly the wrong thing to do. It provides an Empire against which rebels can organize and wage attacks. We need to form alliances with moderate muslim countries. We need to cooperate with their security forces to bring these crazy people to justice. Punishing entire civilian populations only creates more crazy terrorists. George W. Bush doesn't get it. He never has and he never will. Idiot.
