I don't agree. Bush has made some terrible mistakes, but I don't believe he has lied or cheated. He has taken poor advice, and stood by it no matter what, but that does not make him a liar...it just makes him guilty of bad judgement. As far as the lives lost, it is terrible and I believe everyone hates war, but essentially that is what war is about-blowing things up and killing people. It's a sad thing.
I know this thread is about dog fighting and I went a little off topic but in all reality, Bush is the US president, he is the person that represents us, he is the person that has the power of declaring war upon another country. US accused Iraq of having weapons of mass destructions, US accused Iraq of sponsoring terrorism, and so far they have found jack as weapons of mass destruction are concerned and they also found no direct link to Hussein and Al-Qaida (it actually gets better than this because Hussein actually didn't tolerate terrorism and actually executed anyone linked to it), but of course no US media will acknowledge this.
Anyway, if I were to attack another country (where there are US soldiers lifes at risk as well as billions of dollars in expenses) I would have to be pretty damn sure of the facts and actually would have to see concrete evidence without any reasonable doubt before I would engage in war. The fact of the matter is that US wants to control the oil fields in Middle East and another fact is that Hussein wanted to switch it's oil transactions to Euro (which would significantly hit the value of US dollar which is not a good thing for US government/economy)
Anyway, as far as dog fighting is concerned, laws change every day, what is right today, will be wrong tomorrow, either way, dog fighting is illegal in US but so is cocaine and excessive speed, people still do it, no matter what the consequences are they still do what they think is right and/or makes them feel good. But in my eyes, as long as they are not hurting physically another person then that is not a major crime. And what is up with being politically correct these days? No one is allowed to say what they really think, only what everyone expects him to say. And who is going to lock up the damn mosquito that bit me yesterday on my deck at my property? Who knows, it may even contaminated me with some disease, who do I complain to?
Dog fighting is morally wrong but that is not something that should make front page news of every major news outlet.
