war

You know how you can know things and at other times really realise the same fact in a way that engages your mind AND feelings?
Well I just had that experience when I happened to come by an American lady's website where she was freaking out because her husband's stationed out in Iraq. Her husband is at war! 'War' to me has always been something that happened 60 years ago (WW2) or something in some remote corner of our globe, but to this lady and many other people RIGHT HERE IN THE WEST 'war' is an issue that touches their daily lives! It might as well be my dad or brother that's fighting a rebel enemy because men in suits and big offices have prideful problems relating to other men in big suits. I never thought I'd become one to say it (never really 'cared' about war because it was so distant), but peace is in the best interest of your people, Bush and all other heads-of-state!

To stir up a discussion though, if you were chilling with George W. Bush Jr. in privacy and you asked him why he decided to go to war, would he say that it's for his people: "Striking the 'enemy' while they're still overseas and away from the women and children is a preventative action for the safety of the homeland and the peace therein. And yes, I do want the oil because America as we know it cannot function without oil."

I know this might provoke many, but I wanna get this sorted out in my head. I mean is it possible that Bush isn't as corrupt as the general opinion says he is? There should be a lot of angles and factors in this, but please, go ahead and convince me!
