Personal vendetta motivates Bush

President Bush is out of line trying to attack Iraq. I believe that it is a personal vendetta that he is on. I think he wants to attack them before the United Nations finds out that there is no reason to attack them. I believe that if his father had not attacked Iraq when he was in office, we would not have had the tragedy of Sept. 11. He does not have the support of the people of the United States or the United Nations. There is nothing to justify bombing yet another country. Bombing a country that has not attacked us will only increase terrorism in our country.

Congress needs to give him the firm message that he is out of line. The federal government is supposed to be for the people and there is no way this is in our best interest. Attacking Iraq would only worsen the threat of terrorism in our country.

If President Bush has a problem with Iraq, he can go over there himself and attack Saddam himself (not as president). I did not vote for President Bush or VP Cheney and the majority of the American people did not vote for them either. If Bush continues this tirade of killing people and ruining our economy, he should be impeached.
