It is obvisous he never studied history and learned a thing from it. We don't even have democracy in this country anymore, who is kidding who?

Bush has visions all right. The kind of visions that make everyone else have nightmares.

Bush haters are everywhere. People forget this same Bush is the reason why current politicians aren't even talking about keeping America safe, but can only think about gas, healthcare, and the economy. Bush attacked and disrupted organizations aimed to destroy our country, but no one seems to understand that. People are so blind to people and organizations that literally want to wipe us off the planet.

@Oh man...: you know, there will always be people who want to "wipe us off the planet." But that doesn't mean we have to invade their countries, does it? Especially when they don't have such a capability, don't you think? By the way, I don't recall hearing the people of Iraq demanding our extinction, do you? Bush is not the reason we're not talking about "keeping America safe," because America was never in danger to begin with! Your paranoia is getting the best of you!

Bush's vision is my nightmare. He has a vision? From the drugs from his teenage years? That I will buy.

But he doesn't even know who is answering the phone back at the white house. I dare yah to ask him.

Wonder how many Bush lovers are fighting his war for him or are just sitting back and letting someone else do it for them. Like Bush said he envies the romance etc of fighting a war mmm He had his chance and ran.

We have no God in our Democracy; the Middle East has Allah, our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and they want the nations run by Sharia Law meaning their interpretation of God's law. Democracy and the "Western style nations" allow people to promote homosexuality and every indecency in relationships on TV as well as vulgariy, immodesty, promescuity, rebellion to parents, lust after many things (covetousness), greed, fear, anger, bloody contacts and images, thievery, rioting, violence, abortion and a generally seductive culture. We are calling each other "the Great Satan". The evidence does not point to them. They are willing to die to keep our ideas out of their nations. Jesus talked of giving your life for the things of God.

We fought godless communism, and we became godless commercialism. Will God give us success against radical God fearers? The evidence says no. We are going the wrong way and we are satisfied with it.

The Qur'an's real message stated many ways is to follow the whole Bible, (as Jesus said). Just turn them to that truth and let us all be corrected and we can have peace. See D&C 137:36.

Bush tried Yale and Harvard. I suggest a term at BYU to open his closed mind a titch.
