ABOUT 'BUSH-HATERS': a common move among war-defenders is to note that many sensible people find the smirking, strutting little President personally offensive; then they say gravely that we shouldn't let our personal dislike for Bush push us into opposing all his policies, e.g., the invasion.
To set the record straight: people like myself FIRST find his economic, environmental, and especially his foreign policies very offensive; then we feel a DERIVED loathing--not so much for the pathetic little man himself, who is a mere puppet and speech-reader--but for the puppet-masters behind him.
