No, not sole product of Bush's actions and policy. Terrorism has been in exitence long before he entered the White House.

The deaths of 4000 servicemembers and countles Iraqui "civilians" since our invasion are however a direct result of his actions and policies. History will be the ultimate judge on whether these actions were the right decisions or not.

In the eyes of many individuals, worldwide and here in the US, these actions are in excess. The one thing I hope everyone can agree on, is that the invasion has certainly not created an overwhelming sense of relief, for those touched by the violence over there. This "war" has lasted longer than the 2nd world war, in a much more confined area, with no visible end in sight. Like I said earlier, something is working, but not for the better in the short run.

They died in the name of Bush's war on terror. A war declared on an emotion. A war declared on an unstoppable foe which is a technique of fighting used all over the world.

It is a farce. And those men and women died solely for the incompetent leadership of Bush. I am not saying that terrorism didn't exist before Bush. I travelled abroad in the 80's and I remember the attacks all over Europe. It is ridiculous to think that you could declare war on a style of fighting.

It is ridiculous to think that those brave men and women fought and died in and endless war that will yeild no positive results due to a lack of leadership.

A good leader questions every decision they make. They don't change circumstances around their decisions to make that decision seem inevitable.
