2. Bush can't do too much more, due to the loss of Congress. However he does need to veto most stem-cell research proposals.
3. No, America cannot handle another war during the Bush administration. All this talk about attacking Iran is complete B.S.
4. Many companies do not pay their workers enough to support their families, and the tax payers are picking up the tab with huge social programs. Why should I have to pay for the poor man's food and medicine, shouldn't the company he works for do that? To prevent the loss of the middle-class, we need to raise the minimum wage so that every family can be supported, which would eliminate most social programs, a national healthcare program would also help with that.
5. Nuclear power way too much toxic waste that takes 100's if not 1000's of years before it is not dangerously radioactive. However nuclear weapons are a source of protection for stable nations like the United States, just in case weapons get into the wrong hands, we can use ours to destroy theirs.
1) Wrong, do you think Iraq will actually be able to ever defend itself in the Middle, of the Middle East? With Iran waiting for us to leave, as well as Syria, and Jordan. Once we leave the insurgency, among a possible coalition of Arab nations could easily take Iraq. Iraq can not stand on its own, and will fail once we leave. The problem now is alot of internal struggles between the diffrent sects of people in Iraq. The Sunnis don't want the Shi'ites to rule, and Visa Versa. Men are killing each other underhandedly.
2) In my opinion Bush, needs to work on our economy. He has been negligent to it, and therefor our Poor have become poorer, Middle class has dissapeared. And Rich have well stayed rich.
3) True, we will probably not go to war with Iran, but the thing is, we thought that going to war in Iraq without probable cause was B.S., but Bush ended up proving us wrong.
4) Minimum wage is increasing nationally, thanks to the new people in Congress. I think its $7.25. Somewhere around there. But you sem to sound very socialist. But why should you pay for the poor mans food, is because when we were only worrying about the rich man, we were not a nation of complete prosperity. A major gap is slightly what caused the Deppresion of 1929. Because there was such a large gap between the Rich and Poor, the Rich controlled most of what the stocks, and imports were, when thier stocks fell or they decided to pull, and there was no Middle Class who pay the normal tax rates, and usually help with designing reforms, American inflation shot through the roof. What little money the poor had was lost, and even the rich took a major cut, because alot of thier money was now inflated. America rose back up because of the Poor, and World War 2 creating jobs.
5) Nuclear anything is way too much toxic waste, that lasts for years. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not homes for Japanese. And I think any nation within a designed purpose should have the use of thier own resources, and use thier own materials, if they have nuclear power/weapons, its on them.

I kept ranting to everyone that there were no WMD's in Iraq and was very anti-Iraq War until 2005. In 2005, Bush admitted that Saddam didn't have any WMD's and admitted that we went into Iraq on mis-leading and incorrect intelligence. Due to the fact that he admitted the mistake, I become pro-Bush and pro-Iraq War. I realized that if we just leave Iraq before the democratic government can defend itself against Islamic militants, it would create huge consequences in the decades to come. The entire region would fall apart. There would be huge wars fought for control of the nation, Saudi Arabia and Iran would get involved. The Saudis protecting Sunnis and the Iranians protecting Shi-ites.
Plus, Saddam was a WMD himself and needed to be put into exile, but not killed.
So, you became Pro-Bush because he lied? Then fessed up? I don't call that honorable, or anything great, all he did was cover his ass, and handle it. If he fessed up to a lie, then it's just taking responsibility which any person should show. Had he said the real reason, or had a real reason besides hiding the fact that Iraq is a rich mans war, then maybe it would be diffrent. Afganistan is the only real place we should have went, and right now its being done by tasks forces, which is better. The Iraq Government will probably fall, even most Republicans-Centrist agree. I do believe Saddam should have been killed, because he killed many men, although I do not think we should have been involved or anything, but I just belive his death was just.
