Reading the top-ranked posts in this title leaves me dumbfounded. Here are a few examples of the ludicrous statements made by other 'authors' in this title:

"He (Bush) has blundered so badly in Iraq..."
- James Ruhnke

"It is not that I think that he (Bush) is smart enough to know better..."
- Marc Auber

"With any kind of luck, this administration will not invade any other country. Hopefully, the UN will be allowed to do it's job and solve the world's issues in a peaceful manner."

- Simply Sue

That last one is my favorite. Let me ask you a question, Sue... Why do you think John Kerry lost the election in 2004? Two reasons. First, when he announced his plan to combat terrorism: "We will meet any attack with a swift and forceful response..." You see, the whole point is that we don't want to wait for another attack. Bush's goal, which he has accomplished, praise God, is and has been to see that we do not get hit again. The second reason Kerry lost is because of talk just like your words I quoted above. America decided that we do not want the UN to be charged with the responsibility of protecting us. We are a sovereign nation, and we answer to no one.

All I can say to people like Marc is that you are way behind the times. The "Bush is dumb" mantra got worn out in the 2000 election. By the 2004 election, Bush was being praised by his adversaries as a very smart political foe, and his doctrines on foreign policy have actually received praise throughout the world. Oh, sure, the terrorists don't like it, but the people who matter most, our allies, have been firmly on board. You need to get some new material, my friend. Or maybe try watching what is going on and do some real thinking for yourself, instead of just parroting something you heard on television.

The main criticism I will address in this article is the one quoted above by James; the "Iraq was a mistake" mantra of today. Exactly what part of Iraq was a mistake, James? Are you saying we should not have gone in? I would have to think you are. I would hope that you are smart enough to know that wars are tough, and sometimes things go wrong. However, if you compare our casualties of this war with wars of the past, we are actually doing very well. It could be argued that it is safer for a soldier in Iraq than it is for inner city youth of Washington DC... I guess we should pull out of there, too?

I will take you through the top 3 arguments against the war in Iraq (which is a part of the War on Terror), and you will see how
