war has never helped an economy....maybe you should hit the books man. War helps the economy by providing jobs, bullets have to be made, arms manufactured, and all the other supplies the military uses...war provides jobs for people at home.
War helped our economy...dont you remember what was happening before WW2 in America?

Yes, WWII made the US and the Soviet Union the two biggest military and economic superpowers. The reason being afterwards, supply was low and demand was high so even though there was inflation, people want to spend as much as possible. The economy really flourished because of WWII. Thats true, but you can't say that we went to war for an economic gain and we justified the war by blowing up part of the pentagon and two of the world's most important economic buildings. The buildings' destruction hurt us a lot. Consumers' confidence and demand dropped severely and the stock market also took a plunge. Add that to the cost of war (even though thus far, this is the cheapest war we've fought in) and those economic damages will outweigh any gain we get from the war. We did not stage 911 and we did not go to war for economic gain.

not to mention that our economy was very high before 9/11, then after 9/11 the stock market crashed and we went into a steep decline that we are now climbing out of. i don't see how that was an economic gain.

Bush's family is into the oil buisness or something like that(read it somewhere :/) there's your economic gain.

Anyway screw oil, i'd invest my stocks into Ethenol right now. Thats gonna be HUGE once more car manufacturers start using it.

Yeah, right. Are you out of your mind? Why would he kill thousands of innocent people to get only like a couple of million of dollars? Bush is a down to earth guy and would never kill people just for a million dollars. Its not like him to do anything to endanger the well being of this country. Any person who would think otherwise is just stupid and has to respect for the country.

Well alot more then a couple of million dollars are being made, it's more like billions. Also Bush is far from being a down to earth guy. He's been a spoiled rich kid his whole life and if it wasn't for his daddy helping him he would be most likely be a shoe salesman today. As for him not doing anything to endanger the well being of this country. When he was told the WTC was bombed and we were under attack, he just sat there in the classroom and did nothing for like 10 minutes. Lucky for us there werent 10 or 20 planes hijacked that day.

You probably hate Bush because you believe that he attacked the WTC and he steered Katrina right for New Orleans, then blew up the levees.

Yeah real smart you are. (Yoda ho!)

First, after WTC was bombed and Bush did nothing for 10 minutes, if you think about it, there wasn't much he could immediately do. Its all pretty automatic. Police and fire departments showed up on the scene along with medical assistance. There wasn't anything he could do in the first 10 minutes that would have dramatically affected anything. His involvement in those first 10 minutes wouldn't have changed the way it played out.

Second, I think he might be spoiled, but from what I've seen, it doesnt seem to have really affected him as a person. When myst said he was down to earth, he just meant he cares and tries to relate to the people. What I don't understand is how anybody could call Bush dumb, then switch it around when its beneficial and say he's evil and devised this master plan to attack our own country and to actually gain something from it.
