Hey, I know the headline isn’t grammatical! It was to get your attention regarding this post by Bob Cesca on Huffpo. Cesca makes the point that “Bring em on!” cost who-knows-how-many deaths, while Kerry’s recent gaffe was but a gaffe. It must be surreal to be criticized by a speaker as bad as W for one’s rhetorical mishaps.

Erich Vieth is an attorney focusing on civil rights (including First Amendment), consumer law litigation and appellate practice. At this website often writes about censorship, corporate news media corruption and cognitive science. He is also a working musician, artist and a writer, having founded Dangerous Intersection in 2006. Erich lives in St. Louis, Missouri with his two daughters.
The huffpo article that Erich cites above references an excellent article about Bush's desire in 1999 (i.e., before he became president) to wage war solely for his own personal political gain: http://www.gnn.tv/articles/article.php?id=761.
We can only hope that Bush will leave at least this one long-term beneficial legacy to the world: that America will no longer allow its presidents to wage war for their own political gain, without genuine proof that war is necessary.
