Parents encourage children to die for their cause.
Religious leaders encourage their followers to die for their cause.
Political leaders encourage their followers to die for their cause.
Cowards encourage others to die for their cause.
We can increase the cost on those who encourage others to die.
The above in my opinion is apolitical and is true regardless if the person is a suicide bomber or a US soldier. Historically the winner in any conflict is usually the one who is able to impose a "cost" that the opponent is not willing to pay.

The 60 year old woman dressed in cardboard, professing to all subway travelers that she houses an experimental Martian colony in her rectum also says what she believes. Would you vote her into office as well?

Bush says what he believes, and most of the time I agree. I think I posted that before. I would not believe or agree with the 60 year old woman in your example above. And, for example I did not think John Kerry was saying what he believed. So eventhough he put his word together better than Bush could ever do, I could never support Kerry.
