Beef

When I listen to people complain about Bush's incompetence, it makes me think of people who complain about how bad movies are. To an extent - they are right, most movies are bad. And most politicians are incompetent.

The greatest leaders have presided over terrible times. Lincoln and the North mismanaged the Civil War. Prior generations of politicians compromised and never resolved the fundamental issues that led to the war. Is the Civil War their fault? Is sacrificing nearly a generation of young American men due to political incompetence?

After a certain point with people who bitch too much about movies - I suggest making one and seeing how it turns out. Likewise - try to develop a foreign policy to deal with a schmuck like Saddam and a place like Iraq. Good luck.
