The only thing that stopped the U.S. and Russia from annihilating each other with nuclear weapons was that both nations continued talking with each other during the Cold War. If George W. Bush had been President during that era there would have been horrendous massive nuclear destruction to property and human life within the U.S. and Russia.
Every since President Bush was elected he has been acting like a bully in a bar just looking for a fight. He has not shown any signs of a rational thought process needed to be the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.
World tension has increased greatly since President Bush was elected. He persists in making outrageous threats and refuses to negotiate or even talk to the leaders of other countries such as Iran, Syria, North Korea, Pakistan and others. He called several of those countries "The Axis of Evil."
Bullying &
Brainwashing
To maintain your status you have to scare those you wish to control. One thing that the Bush administration deserves credit for their knowledge of how to scare the hell out of and brainwash the American people.
9/11
War in Afghanastan
After the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. President Bush did the right thing by attacking the Talliban, Al Queda, and Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
Iraq
Bully looking for a Fight
President Bush had no reason to start a war with Iraq. Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11 or Al Queda. They had no weapons of mass destruction. Even though Saddam Hussein was a dictator, like many others throughout the world, Iraq's ability to harm other nations was contained contained by coalition forces.
More Wars To Come
Bully looking for another Fight
It is quite obvious that President Bush is now looking for a reason to start a war with Iran and possibly Syria and North Korea.
