FAN: Torture

George W. Bush made his last speech tonight. I kind of feel bad for him. Why, you might ask? Why not keep the subject matter light and to football? Because I honestly believe some of the things he says. When he says he made unpopular decisions but kept terrorism out of the US for 7 years after 9-11, I applaud him. I don't care if you do or not. I do. I read another article on torture and it's effects coming from our side. It's interesting and hopefully fair. Consider if you will, if we didn't torture a few of those monsters and another attack happened on our soil. Can you imagine? IMAGINE? People blast the poor guy as it is - I can't imagine for a second what it would have been like if another commercial airliner went down in the middle of DisneyWorld at noon on a Saturday. Then the same people would have complained that he didn't do enough. Did the Iraq war create a front away from home? Yeah. Was it successful? Define successful. The article goes on to say that while no terrorist attacks happened here, they increased around the world. First of all, that number counts every roadside bomb used against our troops....so it's a bullshit number anyway. Second, maybe if those countries followed a more proactive plan and turned some screws, their numbers wouldn't have went up. Isn't that a fair question? Was Bush perfect? Hell no. Is Obama the second coming of Christ? Hell no. Change? Is that why the new cabinet is full of ex-lobbyists and Washington insiders? His main man was having hush-hush meetings with a Governor selling a Senate seat? C'mon. When you vote for a President, you're voting for the lessor of two evils most of the time. People say Obama inspires them. Why? I hope he inspires me. I'll give him a chance, but I don't inspire easy. I have a feeling his handlers are a lot more liberal than America knows.
