25. Missing the point.
I understand the desire to paint the run up to war as Bush propaganda. But to do so leaves us very vulnerable to the same thing in the future. You don't need to think of Bush as evil (I know a tough sell around here). If you take him at his word you can learn much more about what to look out for in the future.

Bush admin logic here, not mine:

#1 We were attacked by Islamic Terrorists on 9/11.
#2 Reasons for Islamic Terrorism is because the Middle East is run by dictators and the people are oppressed.
#3 If we could help make the Middle East governments democratic no more terrorist threat.
#4 Iraq is run by a bad dictator and we already have troops there.
#5 Some evidence that Hussein wasn't WMD.
#6 Take out Hussein and start Democracy in Iraq and it will be a model Government for the Middle East.
#7 The world will be a peaceful place with no more islamic terrorists.

So no conspiracy theories this is just what Bush has said publicly. Can we now point the holes in this absurd logic? If we can we know what to be on guard for later and not just chalk it up to Bush being evil.
