Why are you worried about Bush?
Jeff/Brian,
And why aren't you worried about Kerry.
But to answer your post:
"Mike... In regards to your response to my blog site posting of
"The #1 Terrorist In The World", you asked me to understand
that "we (Americans) are not the enemy". Let me make it clear
that as an American, I certainly don't consider America as the
enemy. I consider the Bush Administration policies to be the
enemy of America! In addition, HE is making the U.S. the
enemy of the world. That worries me and should worry all
Americans."

While it may come as a shock to you, I do not agree with all of
Bush's policies. But America is not any more feared in the World.
In fact, it was expected that we would act after UN RES1441
was ignored by Saddam Hussein (SH). The Bush Administration
made it clear that there would be "serious" repercussions for
Saddam, if he failed to comply with the resolution. I have had
the opportunity to discuss this and other issues with people I
meet from Japan, the Philippines, Australia and Indonesia.
(I was in Japan for 5 months and Guam for 4 months since
July of 2003.)

Now I have a real problem with Kerry on this subject. I mean
after 12 years of trying to get SH to dispose of his WMD's that
the UN cataloged and verified him having. What other
measure would Kerry take? Not that I think that H. Blix is a
total incompetant but come on he should have found some of
those weapons in 12 years.

Now for those other countries that did not join the US and enforce
UN RES1441.

France was still buying oil, making back door financial deals and
selling any type of weapon system that SH could want up to and
including nuclear materail processing secrets.

Germany was in nearly as deep on all of those issues as well.

And Russia, do you really believe they gave SH those T-90
tanks and advanced planes just because they are good friends?

SH goal has always been to keep the weapons he wanted.

And if you think I am kidding please see this article and pictures.

I hope you understand, this a 70 Ft long, 15 Ft wide fuselage and
a height of 30 Ft that was buried in the sands of Iraq. It was one
of 12 aircraft recovered. Do you think that if SH went to this
length to conceal an aircraft. That he would not go to the same
lengths to hide WMD artillery shells; that are 3 Ft long and
5 inches in diameter?
(How many of those shells would fit in the same area as that
plane?)

So if I am being asked to trust Kerry, who has positioned himself
on every side of this issue. I will take Bush, if only because he
backs up what he says with actions. And the World respects
that kind of position when taken by the US. The nations that
fear the US for acting are the same nations who want the US
to fail as a world power.
