These are very frightening times for our children, our country, the world, our future as a people. President Bush is a leader who is driven by a world view of black and white, evil Vs good. He has no appreciation of the diversity of culture. In fact he sees, as a threat, any culture or belief that opposes his own self righteous ideology. He dehumanizes those who oppose him. Americans who protest against the war are anti-American according to the Bush doctrine.

I despair over the fact that we as a nation had such a great opportunity to lead the world in the direction of peace. The United Nations and most countries throughout the world wanted to give peace a chance. We had UN inspectors who agreed that progress was being made with the Saddam government. Bush's presence at the UN through Secretary of State, Powell, wasn't about placing humankind first while mediating with other countries towards a peaceful resolution. Bush had his mind already made up. He didn't want the inspectors to be successful. If they were he wouldn't have any reason to invade Iraq. Where are the weapons of destruction that the Bush administration was adamant that Saddam had? They even showed the American public and the world where the weapons were on TV. Bush was driven by corporate greed. He's an oil man from Texas. It has even been documented that his father once did oil business with Bid Laden's family. Bush lacked the courage and strength of character to denounce those behind his current agenda of capturing one of the largest oil reserves in the world, at the expense of human life. Many Iraqi women, men, and children have been killed as will as our own and British soldiers.

Bush has placed America in world view as the aggressor. And now our own homeland and people are at even greater risk. President Bush insults humanity with his self-righteous narrow minded view of the world. We can no longer afford to resort to war as a solution to improve the human condition. I'm afraid Bush wasn't driven by the thought of improving the human condition but buy the creed of improving the corporate pocketbook.

Bush uses fear to terrorize the American people. He uses fear to push his fanatical agenda of taking away our civil liberties, attempting to destroy of natural habitats by pushing drilling for oil, violating the United Nations, breaking ties with global environmental protection coalitions, not attending the world conference on racism. In the eyes of the people of the world, Saddam Hussein is seen as a terrorist but now so is President George W. Bush. Why? Because he is behaving like one. He is a terrorist to both the environment and to humankind. As an American, ask yourself the following: If a leader from another country sent his/her military into our country to take over our government, would you think that leader was a terrorist?

Let's work to impeach Bush before he does any further damage to the world. George W. Bush, disgraces the highest office of this country and the American people. He wasn't even voted into office by the popular vote. George W. Bush is a fraud.
