The Good in President Bush, I would like to know... Options

[Alpha240]

I've read many debates regarding George Bush and John Kerry. Unlike Bush, Kerry never had a chance to prove himself as a president and show the American people how he could help this country and its people. George Bush had almost 4 years now to make a difference, and in my opinion any difference he made was make our country worse than it was before. I just don't understand why people like Bush. I really don't. I've heard unrational reasons, such as "He is a Christian" and "He is a strong leader", but I have not heard any REAL reasons on why Bush is a good person/president. So pleeease... someone tell me why so many people out there like Bush.

I would like non war related reasons, because i am against the war and therefore I will disagree with almost any reason given regarding the war.
For example: if you say you like Bush because he caught Saddam Hussein, my reply would be that he had no probable cause to go after Hussein. Even if he saw him as a threat, Bush had no proof or real intelligence to have reasons to bomb Suddam's country and capture him. I also don't believe in pre-emptive attacks. I think they are extremely hypocritical and destructive.

So if anyone has any input on how Bush improved our economy, environment, societal problems, scientific and technological advances, or anything along those lines please let me know.

I agree that democracy is a better form of government, but i'm just trying to make people think for themselves rather than being told that communism is BAD BAD BAD. Vietnam is a poorer country than the US, so that may have an affect with the poverty. And in the election of 2000, african americans and other minorities votes were nullified for whatever reason. This is just an example of the problems of government. Even though democracy claims that the people vote for their leader, it's more complicated than that. I'm NOT saying communism is good or bad, all i'm saying is that every governement has it's problems and secrets.

Why is Vietnam poor? Because of Communism. Communism is a society without money, without property, without social classes. People just come together and carry out a project or to help each other in a community but it is without different wages. Everyone makes the same minimal wage, a doctor can make the same a trashman. Think about it, why would you go and spend time going to school if you just make the same wage as someone who doesn't really need an education and time and they just receive ALMOST the same amount as you? The citizens are slaves to the government. I mean Communism was ideally a good form of government, but it hinders growth of the economy if other countries are capitalist. It is human nature that if you work really hard to improve society, another person should do the same. Except when corcerning professions, it contradicts that notation because each profession is different and that you spend different amounts of time working and studying that profession.

You are right that the government is brainwashing students, but people do think for themselves. I really do think they try to explain to you that Communism was a good idea except it didn't work out and that people corrupted the idea just like they corrupt many others. I was fortunate to be taught by wonderful teachers in Social Studies.
