Why did Bush attack Iraq? It wasn't for his amusement.

[ProSense]

It was for far worse.

Bush knew they didn't have WMD. He wanted to get Saddam, and he obviously didn't care that he would be destroying a country and contributing to the death of nearly one million Iraqis.

He did it for his own ego and to benefit his friends.

From the day Bush lied to start the war to the day he sanctioned torture to his continued arrogance, he doesn't deserve blind or shut-one-eye respect.

Why he continues to subject the Iraqi people to an unnecessary tragedy is beyond comprehension, but it's not amusing.

I suspect members of Congress would be censured for saying Bush is sending our soldiers to get their heads blown off for power and profit. I'll even acknowledge decorum and say it may not be appropriate, but it's not wrong.

Bush's actions are illegal (and possibly criminal), but not amusing.
