AM posted this in the Nuclear thread and I thought the discussion that is invokes deserved its own thread.
Ive noticed that a lot of American's explain away the things wrong with America as being Bush's fault, as if they are using his stupidity as a scape goat for the problems with their nation. And they are some serious problems.
Bush is an idiot, but a lot of things are not his fault. The CIA lied to Congress and Bush regarding Iraq; that isnt really because of "Bush or his cronies," it is a lot bigger than him.
Geeez, FEMA took 5 days to get water to the Super Dome, thats a big issue that represents a big inability by the US government as a whole to respond to a problem, not to mention the preventability of 9/11.
I think Bush is becoming a scapegoat for America's problems, much like I think Hitler has become a scapegoat for the actions and beliefs of Germany as a whole during WW2, as if he magically persuaded everybody to follow him and as soon as he died the spell was magically lifted again. The issues of both nations are bigger than just one man and "his cronies."
all the things that are going wrong have everything to do with him and his cronies and very little to do with the U.S. in a broader perspective.
