I have to assume you're talking about Bush? Really?
Why do you feel our President is an evil meglomaniac with a napolenonic complex?

Evil? Sending your fellow americans to die in a war that no one can figure out the main cause of war with the exception of rather insideous pretexts, is evil in my books.
Meglomaniac? Projecting american power in a non-peaceful content during a time where domestic security is paramount would seem to a world observer to be no less imperialistic than that of the 18th and 19th century British.
Napoleonic Complex? Perhaps unfair, but in the minds of many, Bush would be an excellent candidate for this trait especially.

I'm not sure if you've perused the other forums yet, I've already touched on a few of these points :
Since '91, several things have happened that proved to the world that Saddam was more of a threat than originally thought.
A) Saddam attempted to have a former U.S. President assassinated.
B) The Czechs caught one of Saddam's toadies meeting with Mohammed Atta (remember that great guy?) & promptly expelled him.
C) Since there was a proven Al Qaeda / Saddam connection, we couldn't afford to take the chance of Saddam giving one of his newfound friends a weapon that was capable of wiping out millions of Americans or our Allies.
D) The new-n-improved foriegn policy states that we will make no distinction between terrorists and the States that harbor them. Saddam clearly had terrorist links & you can't dispute that.
E) After 9/11, it was painfully made clear to us that we couldn't afford to sit back and wait for terrorist plots to mature - being proactive rather than reactive is the new watchword. To not actively eliminate threats before they arrive on our shores would be completely asinine.
Your point number 2... really doesn't interest me so I'm not up on what the latest Greenie issues are. I live in Alaska & it's pretty damn pristine... I could care less about Cleveland or Detroit's ecological problems; if they're unhappy with things they are always able to pass stricter local pollution laws - there is nothing wrong with that course of action. Blaming the Federal guidelines (and the President, for that matter) is a very weak thing to do, and only uneducated sheep buy into the argument that they are unable to control what pollution is occurring at the local level.
See, you cannot have a State (or city, county, etc.) law more lax than Federal laws; but you can make them more strict - and that is done much more frequently than not.
Again, see my first response. Also, do you understand what 'Imperialistic' means? I'm not sure you do.
Our domestic security seems to be well in hand since 9/11, wouldn't you agree? Seems to an American observer that we're very capable of walking and chewing gum simultaneously.
1) British intelligence dossier on WMD programs used by both the British and the US as the cassius belli for the Iraq war. Entire sections were taken from undergraduate thesis based on literature searches and from the web. The dossier was brought up in english parliament and an official apology made for those sections.
2) American WMD dossier with locations of "current" WMD sites. They came, the went, the conquered they looked. In fact your SoS even showed these photos in the UN. Inspector's prior to the war reviewed the same mobile WMD factories and found no trace. Bad luck? Maybe, but i don't care whether they truly thought they were mobile factories or not. The point is moot. The fact is that they were wrong.
I simply ask you this as a moderate Canadian, who is not anti-american in any way. Was Iraq really a greater threat to world peace and security than Iran or N. Korea, both who are suspected of having or actively pursuing nuclear weapons. I believe NK has even stated it would pursue a first strike strategy if conflict arose with the US in any capacity? Iran is huge in harbouring islamic militants and probably many times more that Iraq.
Domestic security is certainly tighter now doubt and frankly, as it should be. However, as an outside observer I simply believe that your foreign policy will ignate the powderkeg of hatred on all sides (I can already see it now in both the Middle East and the rise and anti-Islam in america) and i don't think any domestic security system in the world could help you then. But let us both hope that it never comes to that.

Really enjoyed those Bushisms, Vyxen. That's some funny shit.
Speaking of funny shit, these attempted "rebuttals" from JIMnJANEENG are about as half-witted as they come. Not response-worthy.
Cheers!

Another fascinating take from a blithering idiot! thanks for going out of your way to prove my previous post.
I've no connection to Vyxen. In fact that was my first post. But I don't need to read too much to see your responses are inappropriate.
And I'm not uneducated, nor drunk, nor Canadian. But Albert is clearly the only poster here with a brain on his shoulders, and he's canadian. Perhaps you'd like to forward your insults on to him!
Have a nice day. OOps, yours son must be home from school by now, and I'm sure there's dinner to prepare.
