A friend of Israel is a friend of AchtungBono.
Not necessarily Canadiens.....you don't have to be a friend of Israel to be my friend - but it does help if you take time to understand our point of view.
I realize that the hatred people have for GWB is more or less the same as the hatred for Israel. That's because people don't understand who we're fighting against and what kind of monsters we're dealing with.
In westerns, when the bad guys take over the town, kill a lot of people and basically terrorize the townsfolk, the people cry for law and order and then the shefiff comes in to get rid of the bad guys - sometimes by using extreme measures which the townspeople don't like but that are ultimately for their own good.
Israel has been fighting a war on terrorism since its establishment (and even before). The U.S.A has been "officially" fighting it since 2001. Up till then, Americans were used to living a certain way and having certain freedoms which the 911 terrorists took advantage of. GWB did the right thing in curbing some of those freedoms - which helped thwart numerous terrorist plots subsequent to 911 (shoe bomber, underwear bomber...etc.).
As I said, only future history and future events will ultimately decide the GWB legacy. Unfortunately, his name will forever be linked with 911 and terrorism and war just as, tragically, Sharon Tate's name will forever be linked with Charles Manson (not to compare the two).
Again, this is only my opinion.
