9. I am absolutely certain that Bush used war for political gains
He saw how popular his father was during the first Gulf War but it slipped when the war was over. Jr. wasn't about to make that mistake. He started a war to gain political power, and then kept it going so that he could be re-elected.

I also seem to recall Karl Rove saying something about how the 9/11 attacks should be used for political gains.
