What am I wrong about?
How much time you have? You have written more avoiding my question than if you had actually answered it. I assure you that Obama will have "blood" on his hands before he goes to bed on January 20th. That is just the nature of US presidency. They have to kill for us. Sometimes it takes atom bombs, sometimes cluster bombs. Makes you uncomfortable? Me too. But hey, that is the nature of the job.
That's just it. He didn't have to kill for us in Iraq.
Did FDR have to kill so many German civilians by firebombing cities? Did Truman have to drop the A-bomb , twice, on an enemy that some say was already defeated? How many Vietnamese did Johnson kill? This is what America does but somehow you are picking on Bush. I'll have a list for you on Obama in a few months.
I'm not just picking on Bush (there are aspects of him that I like). Nor do I excuse the excesses of past presidents. But here's the thing about war. It is hell. You'll find yourself forced into one every now and again. But you don't "invent" a war. You don't just make one up from scratch and then feel as if you should be vindicated.
