Villain

Write now Article Tools

George W. Bush has always been a bully. That's bad enough in grade school, but when your cronies help you into the White House and you unleash your bullying personality onto the world, so that a bully graduates into a villain.

The invasion of Iraq was sold to the American public as revenge for 9/11, a cynical lie that is still believed by 40% of the public and an even higher percentage of the military. His plan was to bully the Iraqis into adopting an American brand of democracy that is antithetical to their culture.

He has politicized science to justify policies that harm the environment, he has given huge tax breaks to the rich and subsidies to high oil company buddies. He says "support the troops" while crippling veteran's benefits. He has defied or ignore Congressional oversight, appointed idiots and other villains to high posts where they can pursue his agenda at the expense of the rights of the American people.

Thousands have already died and thousands more will die because of George W. Bush, and virtually all of them will have died to support his lies. If this isn't villainy, I don't know what is.
