George Bush to receive 'international medal of peace', page 6

Just wondering. If Obama nukes Iran does he get one of these peace medals too?

How are you people going to feel about Obama when he sends troops blazing into Afghanistan and Iran? You know it is inevitable because he, like every other president, has no control over the situation.

There does seem to be a certain sickening inevitability about all this:
Barak Obama plans 20,000 troop surge in Afghanistan

I for one find such news most disturbing.

George Bush freed 50 million Muslims from the oppression of evil regimes. He most certainly deserves this award. And several years from now, when Iraq is a peaceful and free democracy and Afghanistan is on the same path, history will vindicate Bush. And just as you did after the fall of Saigon, liberals will try to re-write history and ignore the role they played in undermining this nation and its efforts for peace and democracy.

Being a believer myself I suppose I'd better respond.

At the end of the day we're all different. Some believers have their critical faculties awake, others less so. It also has to be said that to avoid a patronizing attitude I have to accept the pastor in question & those who go along with this award will have sincere motives, even if I find the whole debacle outrageous.

...Which I do.

To be sure, we are all different.
I do not mean to lump together all believers or even church-goers.
There does seem to be a group, birds of a feather so to speak, who have in common:
- belonging to an evangelical church
- far right wing politics,
- no independent sense of reasoning/aura of having been brainwashed
- and extremely ironic sense of "morality"

Anyway, this minister and this church fit that generalization. I have a hard time believing their supposed sense of what's right has any base whatsoever in ethics or morality, but in something far more sinister.
How could anything/anyone so aligned with the Bushes be moral in the least?

I am not a Bush fan, but I have no problem with him receiving this prize.

Most of the vitriol flung at Bush, even by the likes of many here, is unfounded and misguided. He's an easy target that isn't to blame for much of what you think he is.

He's no saint, but if Al Gore can get the Nobel Peace prize over the likes of Irena Sendler, Bush getting this prize is nothing.

Judge a man on his actions, not what you expect his actions to be.

Obama hasn't done anything as president yet. So let's all wait to see what he does before starting.

As for the "International" aspect, it's just like your "world series", a lot of Americans think they are the only ones on Earth

/lol

And I'm all up for the N.A.Z.I medal idea, now that would truly be international.

As for those defending Bush...
Simply using the acronym PEACE is a joke and an insult in itself. Why don't you go and ask all the Iraqi and Afghan people how they feel about awarding this man a medal? Ignore your propaganda news of happy smiling people who have been "freed" from the evil rule of Saddam.
Yes he was bad, but it takes the people to rise up against a dictator, not a foreign power.

I'm sure the families of the thousands of innocent people murdered by Bush will love to hear this news. It's not inappropriate at all.

Either way, Bush will go down in history as an idiotic, war mongering, irresponsible puppet of corporate greed.
There is no way a preposterous medal will change that.
