Reply #8: Of course there is anxiety

[Flyer72]

Most of the demonstrators will demonstrate in any case. The reason why there is a lot of anti Bush sentiment around the world is simple.

Most don't really complain about preemptive strikes. Of course some will always oppose war and acts of war regardless if it is necessary or not. If there is a real threat, it needs to be dealt with. You even had german foreign minister Joschka Fischer who belongs to a greenparty ok the bombing of Serbia due to the Kosovo conflict. Because of that demonstrators threw eggs and paint at him. Ethnic cleansing isn't ok and you can't watch that going on, what choice did he have? And that was the first time since WW2 that german forces were involved in acts of war. Yet he acted.

We were however told that Saddam had WMD, involved in terrorism etc. and it all turned out to be wrong. Did Bush say he was wrong? No he didn't. He still won't confess to the mess that Iraq is in. The US had credibility back then, noone expected Powell to stand up and lie in front of the UN assembly - and a lot of people were VERY dissapointed when it turned out that we were lied to. How can you trust Bush after that? How can you trust an administration that just wants to cover up things? And only find new excuses to justify a war, when we know that isn't so? And how on earth can you trust that "next time" he will be right? Perhaps Iran is developing nukes, but who will believe Bush?
