Reply #42: Again, I disagree with your Bush comparison....

... as the President is not using the kind of scare tactics that Bush did. He is speaking to like we are adults and has promised to set benchmarks and evaluate our progress. More importantly, his goal is not to build a new democracy, but to give the people of Afghanistan an better, more peaceful alternative to what they have now. In so doing, we hope to make the world a bit safer.

I think when it comes down to it, we're just splitting hairs here though and, unfortunately, I have to go dry mine now. :)
