Bush didn't start the Iraq War...

Bush is not solely responsible for the long-term Occupation of Iraq either:

It takes people that hope to keep troops in Iraq for "one-hundred years," like McCain.

It took a Republican majority in the House and Senate to approve this war based on lies.

It takes several Democrats In Name Only (DINOS) to continue funding this economic fiasco.

It takes propaganda machines like FOX news to hide the horrors in Iraq.

It takes the loyal support of at least a few US citizens to create misrepresentations of the war's popularity through misleading surveys.

ALL of them are as guilty as supporters of the Albigensian Crusade (1209-1300) where over 500,000 men women and children were slaughtered during the genocide Gnostic Christians, in southern France.

ALL of them are as guilty as supporters of the Spanish Inquisition; authorized by the Church in 1478, when countless Muslims, Jews and other religions were tortured to death.

ALL of them are as guilty as Nazi supporters of the of the systematic murder of six million Jews, during the Holocaust.

Like in other Crimes Against Humanity, the historic record will hold ALL of the modern criminals accountable for the Occupation of Iraq.

And Jefferson's Ghost is going to do what about it?

1. Blame must also be laid at the feet of George Bush, Sr. and Bill Clinton
   
Poppy justified the Gulf War by saying that Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator. Had he followed through, Hussein could have been removed from office ten years earlier and Americans very likely would have been hailed by the Iraqis and the world as liberators. Instead, he got the UN to implement several harsh economic sanctions against Iraq, bringing death and misery to millions.

Clinton tightened these sanctions, humiliated the Iraqi national identity by claiming the authority to unilaterally create and enforce "no fly zones" over more than half of the country's air space, and added frequent bombing runs which destroyed most of the country's infrastructure including power plants, water treatment facilities, roads and bridges. By the time Clinton left office, Iraqi hatred for the United States had become firmly entrenched into Iraq's psyche.

What I found amazing when I was in Iraq, was how many homes had pictures of President Bush on the walls. They were placed in very prominant places as well.

If you have an hour to kill, watch the video "Uncle Saddam" (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6999822338025053266). It was filmed in 2002 and shows how much of a "utopia" Iraq was before we went in.  It's the type of movie the primitives will hate!
