Dumbya as Teddy Roosevelt...
This guy really needs a history lesson...

Editor, The Times:
Illegal war. I challenge any legal scholar to cite which law was broken in waging the current war in Iraq. Over and over, this claim is made; if it were true, surely the Bush administration would have been called to task for it by now.
Immoral war. What is immoral about removing a vicious dictator who refused to abide by the terms of his surrender in the war that resulted from the invasion of Kuwait?
Saddam Hussein used, to his own detriment, the threat of possession of WMD as defense against the West and his enemies in the Middle East.
One thing this war has proven is that radical extremists have hijacked Islam in a crusade against Christian and Jewish nations.
That Sunnis and Shiites are just as intent on murdering each other as they are on murdering the invading armies is proof that Muslims have lost control of their religion, and if the extremists weren't drawn to Iraq, they would be focusing on America and Israel.
Thank God for President Bush, a present-day Teddy Roosevelt.

Teddy Roosevelt led troops in battle.... San Juan Hill.
TR personally hated show toughness... "Walk softly and carry a big stick."
TR protected wild lands and the environment.... He created Yellowstone and other National Parks and Monuments.
He was the exact mirror image of Dumbya.

3. Bush is the Bizzaro TR
TR Won a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end the Russian-Japanese war of 1905. He started the National Parks system. He fought against Trusts and big buisiness conglomerates. He was an avid, extremely diverse reader. He was incredibly physically active in spite of having been a sickly child and could leave most men of his class in the dust.

Bush is none of these things, and incapable of shining TR's boots.

4. Mr. Davis, back away from the kool aide
Not one more sip, you hear? Now, maybe your brain may come to life and realize the foolishness of what you just have written.

5. T.R. also put the robber barons in their place as well.
Bush is in bed with the modern day robber barons.

I know of Teddy Roosevelt. Mr. Davis, Bush is no Teddy Roosevelt.
