I didn't say that, and in fact I think Bush has done a horrible job explaining the war and the reasons why we're still there and will be there for a while. All I mentioned was the person who this topic is about, a Stalinist thug named Hugo Chavez, who much like Middle East leaders uses the US as a scapegoat to keep the people's eyes away from him. There are any number of people who are critical of Bush who could be seen as "legitiamate", Chavez is ot one of them. Do some research on people before throwing your support to them and their opinions just because on a surface level they seem to agree with you about Bush. There is more going wrong in the world than George W. Bush, even though the media would have you believe otherwise.
And would you rather we just ignore terror, or that there are large clandestine groups with access to funds and possibly nuclear capabilities that want to kill us? Thats the formula that GOT US BOMBED TO BEGIN WITH, but I'm sure you'd rather not think about that. I look at it like weather prediction: you prepare the public for the worst, just in case the worst happens. Hopefully and most likely it never will happen, but that is not an excuse for apathy.
I get the feeling you think that Bush keeps us all paranoid about terrorism 24/7, and we Americans walk around worrying about the next 9/11 constantly. We don't. Being aware of something and being paranoid about it are two very different things. Now if I lived in Israel, I'd be pretty paranoid... not here.
