Camp X-Ray is in Guantanemo Bay in Cuba. I suggest you research it a bit.

You think Osama Bin Laden is more popular in the Arab world than Bush. If true why is Osama hidding in a cave somewhere. If he is loved he would be protected and not need to hide.

I don't think - I know. Someone doesn't have to be loved in order to be more popular than someone else. The fact of the matter is that Bush is hated with every fibre of their being and they'd like nothing more than to see him rot in hell for eternity whereas they just hate Bin Laden:

True, we did not ask the hudreds of thousands of people killed by Saddam if they wanted democracy. For the people still alive, they will make their decision in January, assuming the terrorists allow it or we defeat them.

Nicely facetious, but as far as I know the Iraqis are voting for a government, not a system of government. Democracy has already been imposed on them - it's too late to do anything about it now.

I have never understood the logic in that argument. If a doctor is treating an accident victim with multiple wounds. The doctor has to decide which injuries to treat first, that doesn't mean the other injuries are not serious and won't be treated. Just like in our war on terror, we can disagree on the strategy but we can agree somthing has to be done. So what is the point of your arguement, one of strategy or are you saying we should not do anything. If you say strategy, then you have to agree that action is required in Iraq.

Some of those "injuries" existed well before Bush decided that Iraq was the problem. Some of them existed well before 9/11 too. Yet America did nothing about them. They were left to run their course, although some of them are still running now and still will be once Iraq is safely being governed by Zarqawi's terrorist regime, and I am willing to bet my house that the US still does nothing about them. So I don't understand your argument.

The primary basis of my argument is that the US is a good country and that we are trying to do what is right, what we think is in our best interest and in the interests of most people in the world. I admit we are not perfect and we have made mistakes, but for the most part the world is a better place because of this country.

Thanks for your thoughts, it does not seem like we will ever agree, even on the smallest points.
