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.

then i have a good idea. the US should get rid of all guns in the country. why would we need them anyways? looking cool? or protecting ourselves. that's why the military has weapons.

it's ridiculous how you say that. i wanna see you fight overseas and ask the US to stop spending money on weapons.

i understand that weapons protect us, but this is no excuse to be trigger happy. what if we didn't have weapons when 9/11 happend? we would have to negotiate an agreement of some sort. but, since we do have weapons, we feel we can just go bomb the crap out of them.

if Kerry knows what it's like to be in the army and serve, then why is he trying to reduce the weapons that the military has? any soldier would want weapons to use, because if you don't have them, then you're dead

if he kows what it's like (how awful it is) he'll try to prevent anything like it happening again. weapons only cause fighting and fighting only causes more fighting and i know i'm not a fan of fighting.

lets say there was a bee hive right outside your home. you don't wanna get stung, but you have a chance of getting stung, even if you try to stay away from it. so do you kill the hive or do you let it stay there and grow bigger and bigger?

muslims, much like bees, don't sting without a reason. if you get rid of the reason, you get rid of the risk.
