My opinion of Bush...? -shrugs- He's a President. Which means he's a politician. Which means as a rule I don't trust him. He seems like a decent guy, and the fact that he's a practicing christian at least gives me the hope that he has some kind of moral code which I can agree with. people yank on the whole intelligence thing, but I would argue that he's got to know something to get where he is, so... I would argue he's doing at least as well as anyone else would, and it's easy for the random armchair politician to go out and attack a man who, for most intents and purposes, can not defend himself.

My opinion on the war...? War is never a good think, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. You're talking to a Navy Brat, so the thought that I might believe fighting to be wholly intolerable, I think, is a bit off. I believe whole-heartedly that sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe, you're values and all. This war? I'm still undecided. I don't know if I agree with Bush's reasons for war, but I also can't claim I know what they are. To my knowledge, Saddam is a cruel dictator who's a threat to his own people if nothing else. Though I can't say I agree that the US should be the World's Police, I can say that we are not wholly unjustified in moving to eliminate Saddam. Anything more than that, and I claim too much ignorance to really make a firm stance.

He DID graduate from Harvard, so he can't be entirely stupid. He's got the degrees and I doubt they'd just give it to him. No matter how much money he has...

Right, right - I know plenty of people who can't speak very well, but who are very smart indeed. Hell...if intelligence was placed totally in one sphere, I would be considered mentally retarded, 'cause I can't even multiply and divide.
