Can't seem to just talk about this stuff in a reasonable way with some of you folks. I know this site has some crazy Palin people that go into a shark feeding frenzy when someone inadvertently steps into the tank. (And I'm for Palin.) Seems like we've got the same thing with certain Bush people. (I think Bush was a mixed bag.) I've seen others call (some) Bush supporters "Bush-bots", but certain people on this site love to pigeon-hole people and call them names - I don't know, makes 'em feel safer I guess.

Anyway, it's delightful but fairly rare when one can get into an interesting and stimulating debate without feeling like he's being attacked by a legion of elementary-school kids on a playground.

Hey, at least I agree with you that Bush was a conundrum.

‘Anyway, it’s delightful but fairly rare when one can get into an interesting and stimulating debate without feeling like he’s being attacked by a legion of elementary-school kids on a playground.’

Your original implication that President Bush lied us into the Iraq war amounts to a charge that he deliberately murdered thousands of allied troops and hundreds of thousands of other humans. It is a charge of Treason, justifying the death penalty. You make this attack on a man who, for all of his faults, is clearly an honorable patriot. Then you are annoyed that people react emotionally to your vile calumny.
