evil? yes!

Itsraylene, perhaps you should look up the definition in the dictionary. If you think you have seen evil at work then you have led a truly sheltered and uninformed existence. Next time try and remove your emotional opinions from your discussions on things of a political and economic nature. facts are much more influential and will help to make you look much more knowledgeable.
Bush in Arizona cutting into a birthday cake for John McCain while poor people were drowning in New Orleans and FEMA did nothing? EVIL!
Bringing back torture of prisoners? ("Waterboarding" was used in the Spanish Inquisition. Japanese military officers who had used waterboarding against US and British prisoners of war in the Second World War were tried and imprisoned by the allies as war criminals.) EVIL!
Invading a country (Iraq) that posed no threat whatever to the United States and selling the war to the people on a pretext ("weapons of mass destruction") that was entirely false? A war that costs approximately one trillion dollars, has claimed the lives of over 4,000 US soldiers, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and made more than two million of them refugees in other countries? EVIL!
Vetoing S-CHIP health insurance coverage for poor children? EVIL!
Wasting eight years that the world had to act while global warming advanced, meanwhile doing nothing about the problem and censoring government scientists who were warning of the accelerating danger? EVIL!
No, I haven't led a sheltered life. I could go on and on all night agripa, but if you don't see it by now, there's probably nothing I can say that will make you see it. Actually, I'm a woman who chooses her words pretty carefully. I used the word "evil" because that's exactly what I meant. In a just world, Bush and Cheney would be going to prison now, not just back to their homes.
