Is Bush a Tyrant?

Good try but pretty shallow

sorry

No he is not. We would be feeling far more pain than we are now if that were the case. I feel that the dislike of him is what he has done and mostly just pure hate that has no justification.

Of course he is. But what does it matter when we're on the brink of economic collapse? The die is cast, my stoopid leedle peoples, the battle completely lost, and now the endgame is here. It is to weep.

He is in competitive company if he is. Throughout the 20th century American Presidents have presided over "torture and other grotesque crimes of state" along with many others leaders of the 'Western' World on a regular basis.

I rather feel the issue is not whether Bush is a tyrant, but whether or not he has tarnished the image of his office and his nation. Tyranny is a matter of perspective and if it were the case, every President from Eisenhower to Clinton would be seen as one. Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Nicaragua, Iraq, Bosnia; all these places witnesses comparative acts of Tyranny. Yet on the converse, many lives were saved.

I feel Bush's failure has been not in Invading Iraq and Afghanistan, though I personally believed both to be major mistakes, it is in the manner of his doing these things. He has taken a country with a major budget surplus and driven it to the brink of a recession it is not well placed to deal with. He has been responsible also for dividing, Karl Rove used this tactic to great effect in his campaigns, America along historic fault lines. This may have been a process threatening from the days of Clinton, but Bush appeared to accentuate these divisions.

Now America is seen as a malignant force in the world, a divided, sick house that is capable of Tyranny in any region of the world.
Bush's real crime is his failure to recognise that America is capable of enormous good in this world, and enormous evil. He chose the latter, and as such has made the USA the Tyrant. It will take a long time to shift opinion away from Anti-Americanism, time Mr. Bush will, no doubt, spend relaxing.

You are rewriting history sitting comfortably behind a laptop, completely removed from reality.

Just as an example

Do you know the reality of the Korean war and what happened there. I suggest you make a trip to the DMZ
Do you know who Kim Il sung is . Do you want to go to North Korea, see for yourself and read your post again.

I do not have time to go over each country you mention.

I feel shame just reading your post.

Soleil10, I've read most of your posts and it's clear that you are nothing but a complete moron. In the future in order to preserve your good name it would be best if you kept your misinformed opinions to yourself.

He's a tyrannical idiot of the worst sort.

A tyrannical leader of the nth degree among other things like a killer, a greedy liar, and the worst president in the history of America. A president (if you can him that) who did nothing for America except drive it to the lowest depth it could go in the annals of history on every front from killing innocent people to torture to economic woes.

For the haters.

"Strange that our government, so stupid as it is, should never blunder into a good measure." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1859)

For those thinking that Bush is so different than any other President (except for a select few) in America's History.

The simple answer is yes.
