-I think Bush is more honest and direct, which I like.

Hmmm... Bush Administration (Powell, Rice) in early 2001: "He (Saddam) has not developed any significant means in the area of WMDs, nor is he able to project conventional power against his neighbors."

Same administration starting late 2001: He *HAS* WMDs, he's a threat to the US (not only his neigbors!), he was directly involved in 9/11"

-Bush may not be the smartest, but I think he better realizes the gravity of the "War on Terror".

3 words: My. Pet. Goat.

And: sending only 11.000 troops to Afghanistan full 2 months after the man they supposedly were after got ample warning that someone was coming for him.

Also, not asking a single question from the Bin Ladin relatives inside the US during the attacks...

Would you care to elaborate HOW people come to these convictions? I ´still completely fail to understand.

OTOH, folks here elected Helmut Kohl 4 times, which is almost as mysterious :P
