So you know more about running the country than Bush?

Almost certainly. But my point was more along the lines of not trusting you because you already showed that you don't know what you are talking about when you implied that Iraq was behind 9/11. Also, your statement that Iraq wants a democracy seems like quite a stretch. I think each ethnic/religious group wants to be in power and doesn't give a shit about democracy (which is power sharing.)

He does know more about running the country than bush. Bushes are hard to run, they pretty much just grow, bloom, go dormant, and repeat it all again the next year.

I hate this argument.

I personally believe that John Madden is a bad sports announcer. Could I do a better job? No, of course not and if he actually was an absolutely horrible sports announcer he would never have gotten the job in the first place. But, I believe that many other people can announce better than him so to that professional standard, I would consider him bad.

In the same way, do I think I can run the United States better than Bush? Probably not, but I can say that there are many other people that are able to. Unfortunately, many of these people run businesses, teach, and sometimes are even working class. A flaw I see with American politics is that the best leader will not necessarily get elected, but what leader can get the greatest number of votes. Some will sell their soul to the devil (Hilary), some will lie (every politician), and others are extremely charismatic (Obama), but having one or many of those characteristics does not guarantee a good leader.

you're absolutly right, but obviously people didn't see my use of the word ALMOST.
