IS GEORGE BUSH THE WORST PRESIDENT -- EVER? - Yahoo! News

I was speaking to an American last week in WOW, who said that she believes that there are "Still," Weapons of mass distruction in Iraq. She wasn't kidding, at all. Seriously.

Who do we blame for this? The Media? Bush? The American culture of ignorance?

I just don't understand how they can ignore the words and deeds of their own government.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IS GEORGE BUSH THE WORST PRESIDENT -- EVER?

# He has taken the country into an unwinnable war and alienated friend and foe alike in the process;

# He is bankrupting the country with a combination of aggressive military spending and reduced taxation of the rich;

# He has deliberately and dangerously attacked separation of church and state;

# He has repeatedly "misled," to use a kind word, the American people on affairs domestic and foreign;

# He has proved to be incompetent in affairs domestic (New Orleans) and foreign (
Iraq and the battle against al-Qaida);

# He has sacrificed American employment (including the toleration of pension and benefit elimination) to increase overall productivity;

# He is ignorantly hostile to science and technological progress;

# He has tolerated or ignored one of the republic's oldest problems, corporate cheating in supplying the military in wartime.

Last night I had a conversation that hardened me towards Americans, so I appologise if this is a harsh post. A "Virtual Friend" of mine asked me what, exactly, the Canadian Army DOES. I replied that we're involved in Peacekeeping and Disaster relief, primarliy. He laughed and said, "In other words, NOTHING."

I'm sure that one of my buddies, who has spend the last couple of months in Pakistan helping with the cleanup from the big earthquake, would be impressed with this attitude. Or the family of the guy who was killed in Afganistan last week.

So yeah, I'm feeling a little peckish right now.
