"One of the interesting things people ask me, now that we're asking questions, is, can you ever win the war on terror? Of course, you can"--President Bush, April 13, 2004[1]

"I don't think you can win it [terrorism]"--President Bush, August 30, 2004[2]

"We are winning and we will win [terror war]"--President Bush, August 31, 2004[3]

President George Bush is a fraud and so the neo-uber-alles who are supporting him for his re-election. I learn with satisfaction that so many protesters have gathered in New York by the hundreds of thousands to protest every public policy of this fraudulent Bush administration.

I have always kept in my heart ecologist Dana Meadows’ quote

"challenging a paradigm is not part-time work. It is not sufficient to make your point once and then blame the world for not getting it. The world has a vested interest in not getting it; the point has to be made patiently and repeatedly, day after day after day."

But with this Bush administration we are not talking anymore about the challenging of a paradigm, we are talking about an attack to democracy altogether[4].

What bother me most, is that Bush pushes ideological divisions among people to such an extent that people are not able to think for themselves anymore. We can change our opinions as our critical thinking changes in accordance to our experiences. However, president Bush changes his opinions with his ideological thinking to further divide people and to further confuse the current policy issues.

I read Wednesday that there are more than one thousand reasons to get rid of President Bush and I agree with all of these reasons which includes one of my own: number 1431[5].

It is a matter of fact that the world is not safer today with War President Bush and I disagree with Rudy Giuliani’s invocation "thank God George Bush is our president"[6]. Bush continued to cover up his personal asset while he knew the 9-11 attacks were taking place[7] and today Bush continues to cover up the events leading to the 9-11 attacks[8].

It is a shame that the Republicans used 9-11 as a backdrop of their convention to hopefully reselect Bush to another residency in the White House.
