Didn't like bush from the start. The primary race, mostly between him and "Straight Talk" McCain, showed me an arrogant and sneering man who clearly was beneath the office. I guess that is a bit arrogant of me to say, but that's the way I saw things. Long before 9*11 and the attack on Iraq. Did not like bush.
But the play up of the security issue at home after those attacks, and the anthrax attacks, with newsbreaks letting the people know the "threat level" had changed. I mean, full on propaganda at home, vast majority of major media supportive from word one, and they used the same fear-mongering tactics to push the Patriot Act and the IWR resolution, etc.
There was more than one reason to go to war with Iraq, from bush's perspective, I think. Maybe "forcing the end of the world," was one, but at the heart of it, the thing that truly made bush give the orders to attack Iraq, I believe, was to seek revenge for Saddam's reported attempt against his dad.
Was that too long?
