Reply #14: 9/11 [View All]

[W_HAMILTON]

It was just that whole sentiment surrounding 9/11. After 9/11, the country was united, not divided like it is today. The majority of Americans, and probably even the majority of politicians, had no reason to think that Bush was going to go on to be the colossal failure that we know him to be today. Most people didn't know that he was going to go on and be the type of president we know him as today. So I imagine a lot of the politicians voted for the Iraq resolution to show they stood behind their president, and because most of them didn't realize that he was a deceitful scumbag.

So that's why, yes, I understand people that say they wouldn't vote for it today. Who in their right mind should? I wouldn't be as angry with those that voted for it, as those who still today say they would vote for it. Those are the ones with problems. I can understand how, back then, some were fooled by Bush. But no one should be fooled by him now.
