I wrote this piece some time ago just before the start of the Iraq invasion) in "an impulsive moment of passionate motivation and/or inspiration" ), so after seeing the horrific images on television of more daily bombings in Iraq and the killing of ever-more innocent children in Baghdad five years later, my heart bleeds and that is why I sending out my thoughts in an attitude of sorrow, as well as a sincerely feeling that I should express my to try make some small difference and a better world through sharing these personal thoughts (as all I can do is write).
"Those who make a peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable."
- rather wise and prophetic words from a great leader, John F Kennedy

As misguided, misinformed and "insular in his thinking" (from his "limited world view regarding other cultures - their values and beliefs") as I feel your President was, I can appreciate the decisiveness and courage he took in making his momentous decisions regarding the war in Iraq. I accept that he acted in utmost good faith (and integrity?) at the time; as we're all human and make mistakes; however some people are doomed to repeat them. Personally, I can forgive your President for his decisions in helping to create a far more dangerous world in which my beloved sons will grow up and live; yet still pray for him (for guidance) ...and respect him as a fellow human being with prejudices, weaknesses and frailties, like all of us.
(Incidentally, I truly believe God can turn our weaknesses into our greatest strengths, if we just TRUST).

I feel "these eternal truths" mentioned in this piece are even more evident in today's ever more chaotic,Jordans 2009, intolerant,Cool Greys 11, divided and unsafe world (thanks, President Bush and Mr Blair!). Incidentally, I was a great admirer of the US President and the way he handled the aftermath of 9/11. Unfortunately,Air Jordan Force AJF 4, with most of the world united with the US (and behind them as a "global superpower") in an outpouring of sympathy, I believe he totally squandered a wonderful opportunity to unite world-wide forces of good to mobilise against the evil of so lead countries in a spirit of global unity to help build a better and safer world. Like the great majority of people OUTSIDE the USA (apparently about 85 per cent, I hear), through his misguidedness in linking Iraq with Sept. 11 and instead of choosing a united front against world terrorism (with the world behind him), I believe your "perceived Texan cow-boy of a President" (at least from this distance) has done a great disservice in protecting the citizens of your great country. I truly believe his fixations, arrogance, inability to admit mistakes, misguidedness in foreign policy, Christian fundamentalism and zealousness, inflexibility in understanding other cultures, insular (zenophobic - big word, eh?) thinking and stubborness (enough "weaknesses, vices, character flaws" for you?) are a great danger to the future security of your own country, the USA... the modern world... and yes, the security and stability of today's world. The incumbent President's legacy to humanity, I believe will be that of a more violent, chaotic and divided world, when the USA should be widely respected as the sole Super-Power and the world leader of nations (and doesn't the world need that desperately!). I truly hope that your great country can regain that trust and respect in the world one day with a drastic change of direction.
