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.

Hmm, no offense taken, but why do you say that? Do you think that the reason why they hijacked our planes to fly 'em and killed people just because they hate Bush?

Sorry...perhaps I should have reworded my opinion. Plus, I don't discuss politics much so excuse my poor arguments.

Of course they never hijacked the plane because they hated Bush. I should have said that 9/11 would have happened, but maybe not in that big or extreme a way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but considering how powerful the US is, how hard would it be to stop another attack on the World Trade Centre? Don't you think that Bush could have done some more to protect America? Don't you think if he did a better job, the number of people who perished could be reduced?

And please correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe I don't know enough about it after all.
