Actually, I think nuking Hiroshima (not sure about Nagasaki) was the best way to end the war. Shows how much you know.
The difference, again, is that Japan is a god damned nation, and terrorism is a tactic. We went into a totally unjust pre-emptive war on a false premise, and bungled the whole thing by not sending half as many troops as we needed to because of incompetent leadership.
Second, this is a democracy. Americans have, in the past, suspended individual liberties, but get this,
the Senate approved it and it was not done in secret by the executive alone.
I'm awed by your ability to read my character. If I were in Bush's place, and had decided that for some ungodly reason we needed to invade Iraq, I would have argued for sending at least 300k during the occupation to stabilize Iraq as quickly and thoroughly as possible. But I wouldn't have invaded Iraq because they had nothing to do with anything, and by doing so I would have squandered international support for our defense against extremists by fucking with the wrong people.
