I hope you will get better response from others.
"Failure to protect us could be considered a treasonous act."
* did fail to protect us. His administration was aware and ignored the possibilities they were warned about for Bin Laden due to obsessiveness with Iraq. Check testimony from the 9/11 Commission.
"But, we try and should continue to try to make the world a better place."
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say the administration or the U.S. has the authority to determine what makes the world a better place. We have allies, that when invited, we have aided. In these cases, as members of world organizations, whose objective is to make the world a better place, we have fought genocide and atrocities leveled on humans.
'Osama/Saddam are not the same person...'
True, but I showed the link between them in the first timeline.
I didn't see his timeline, but Bin Laden and Saddam were bitter enemies. Bin Laden's people were in Iraq, but a part of the country that Saddam had little or no control.
"With Saddam in power we can't leave the middle east. With him gone we can eventually leave."
When and why does he think we are leaving. The constitution being proposed does not give Iragis much control.
"Americans think they are better than everyone else."
"Absolutely we are. We are the only empire in the world that doesn't rape and pillage the conquered. We are the only ones that allow people to come here illegally and get medical help, an education, jobs etc
How pompous! Does he not watch the news? Yes, we have raped and pillaged. Medical help? - our own citizens do not receive adequate medical help. Jobs? - as soon as corporations start paying immigrants the same wages they would pay citizens, then I will think we are treating immigrants fairly. The immigrants are hired to fill the pocketbooks of the wealthy.
And here's something pulled from slate.com
On 10/8/03, Bush declared: "Iraq is free of rape rooms and torture chambers." As recently as 5/3/04, Bush declared: "Because we acted, torture rooms are closed, rape rooms no longer exist, mass graves are no longer a possibility in Iraq." Slate.com has the full list of Bush's torture chamber lies.
