It's just really difficult to get near Bush's mind and have a slight idea of what he is thinking.

But one thing that I do criticize Bush for is his incompetence to finish what he started. Alright, in some fairness lets look at it from a positive point of view. Let's say Bush went into Iraq with a novel mission to save the people of Iraq and the rest of the world from the tyrant Saddam Hussein. Great accomplishment, but how does he go about cleaning up the mess? He prescribes the panacea: democracy.

It's as if an architect took a job to renovate an abandoned home and came out with the result that the home now has even more cracks and broken windows.

Democracy is not a prescription, but its a way of life. America was founded by an idea so strong that common civilians would fight the world's strongest military for their cause. This idea is not instilled in a common Iraq civilian. However, it is instilled in the parties fighting the civil war.

And sending 10,000 more troops to Iraq... If he made his mind to send more troops, then go through with the plan and just send as much as he can. Don't vaccillate in between, that's the reason why this war has been going on for so long.

I just think the war is being mishandled. I don't have a great solution for it either. But its not my job to lead a country.
