Frontline's Documentary - Bush's War...

That is the website where you can watch the full documentary. Now, I'm not going to talk about the documentary itself, rather a comment left by one person that really irked me.

Calling it "Bush's War", when it looked more like Rumsfeld, or Cheney's war, appears to be a subtle way of turning people against the president. In your shaping peoples view of the politics you have failed to mention two important issues: First, that since "Bush's War" we haven't been attacked like we were at 9/11, the W.T.C. in 1993. Secondly, You haven't mentioned that missionaries, and their converts to Christianity were murdered repeatedly in Muslim countries, with hardly any converts, and now according to a Muslim cleric 6,000,000 Muslim a month are coming to know Jesus since "Bush's War". This latter development alone should greatly help keep us and Israel from being attacked again. Your perspective seems twisted, self seeking, not showing the whole picture, and an attempt to put our administration is a bad light! In addition to that it has the appearance of being pro UN, and pro Muslim, and anti Israeli since chemical warfare ammunition shells were found in Iraq, and the soldier said, they were developed to be used against Israel!

Now, there is a lot wrong with this person's point of view. He takes argument with calling it Bush's war. Well, Bush is the elected official, who appointed Rumsfeld and Cheney so it is very fair to call it Bush's war. To call it anything else will imply that Bush is not in control of our government since it is by his authority and his alone that we can go to war.

Second, and the reason why I'm writing this, is that he claims that because of everything that Bush has done since 9/11, there hasn't been another attack like it since. Well, that's like saying that because we put up a scarecrow, those pesky birds won't be eating our crops anymore. While we may not like to admit it, we are very blessed to live in a country where such an act does not occur very often. But, regardless of whatever security measures we implement, we will always be susceptible to terrorists attacks. We only fool ourselves into thinking that we are safe because of the measures we take in the name of protection allows us to do so.

I won't even touch the religious aspect of this person's argument since it does nothing but preach intolerance. But, the viewpoint that this person has is gaining momentum and being shared by more and more people.

Well, the documentary is starting up so I'm going to end here.
