Radical, daring but dangerous
Reader comment on item: Bush the radical

Submitted by Enid Horowitz (United States), Nov 12, 2003 at 23:56

Bush's oratory may be characterized as radical and daring, but his actions of invading countries to impose democracy on a people neither ready nor willing to accept it has proven foolhardy and deadly.

He "won" the Iraq war in a few days, yet he claims we will be there for years, and our sons and daughters are killed daily.

He has alienated the Western nations, former allies, and has pushed the smoldering volcano that is North Korea into ominous activity. He is rough riding across the world with our money and our children's lives.

For all his noise, he has yet to find Saddam Hussein or the ever- elusive and truly deadly Osama bin Laden.

In my opinion, Bush is a danger to the world and a danger to the American people. He wants to bring freedom to people who don't appear to want it, and yet he takes it away from Americans through the USA Patriot Act and the recent abortion bill.
