New Jersey resident Thomas Jesymondo never viewed US President George Bush as a great leader but voted for him because he was convinced his administration would make the US a safer place after the 9/11 attacks.

"At first I thought Bush was OK. Now I just don't think he knows what he is doing. He dug a hole for himself and doesn't know how to get out of it"

Human failure

But for Celesta Zappala from Philadelphia, the war marks a failure of human behaviour.

Her 30-year-old son, Sergeant Sherwood Baker, was killed in a bomb explosion in the spring of 2004 while guarding the Iraq Survey Group searching for weapons of mass destruction.

The group has since left Iraq declaring no such weapons were ever found.

Zappala believes Bush has betrayed and misled the military. "Pre-emptively to use the war as a first strike is appalling and terrible. I think that people should start looking at the truth," she told Aljazeera.net.
