Reply #4: If Bush hadn't invaded Iraq [View All]

[Guaranteed]

he wouldn't have had the distraction that allowed him to pull off his fascist policies. I don't think I would have minded having Bush in office nearly as much. We might have had a couple of tax cuts, and the NCLB Act and the Patriot Act, but the whole thing wouldn't have been nearly as sinister.

Yeah, we would have still fought against him, but it would have been like 2000- not nearly as dire.

On edit: The fact is that during this massive and bloody diversion Bush managed to slip a whole lot of stuff in under the radar that did NOT used to be the status quo. And these things will REMAIN the status quo until someone stands up to show America how those ideas are wrong and takes on the task of leading America away from them.
