What would America be like?

[Eros]

What would America be like if 9-11 never happened, and if hurricane Katrina never happened as well? Would pres Bush be popular, would we still give a damn about the middleEast?

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Hard to say,i think Bush would have still been known as a "dumb" President,due to the way he won the 2000 election.

 

[heypapajinx]

this is a very good question.
i don't think we would be so globally hated.

 

[Catman]

Bush would still be hated. Honestly, I can guarantee that he would have attacked Iraq. For some reason when he was elected President I knew he was gonna attack Iraq. I just felt like he wanted to finish what his Dad couldn't. Then, when he attacked Iraq I was like, "I knew it!"

In fact, I think I had a discussion about that here at the Hype with TheAlmightyFuzz. Maybe the thread is still around.

Yeah, Bush would be treated in a different perspective. Lets say he stopped 9-11. He would have been a hero. Stopping a huge tragedy from happening in one of our beloved cities. Then you have Katrina. If he could have stopped most of the deaths. More power to him. If he could have saved more lives, he would have been an outstanding president.

Maybe he could have saved us from 9/11, but I have a feeling he still would have f--ked up with Katrina. The mofo was on VACATION when it happened!

 

[Tangled Web]

We'd have still invaded Iraq. We'd still be in a financial crisis.

 

[The Shredder]

Maybe he could have saved us from 9/11, but I have a feeling he still would have f--ked up with Katrina. The mofo was on VACATION when it happened!

I think he was reading a children's book when the attacks were taking place.

 

[heypapajinx]

We'd have still invaded Iraq.

that is true.
we invaded Iraq for reasons other than what the government wants the American people to belive.
it would have happened either way, 9-11 was just the perfect excuse.

 

[Catman]

I think he was reading a children's book when the attacks were taking place.

Yeah, I just rememered that. Hence why I edited it out.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

9/11 should have been prevented. They knew it was it coming and they did nothing about it. With Katrina, people didn't know the levys were gonna break and half the people didn't evacuate. So you can't put all of the blame on Bush for that.

 

[Catman]

that is true.

Exactly.

 

[Catman]

So you can't put all of the blame on Bush for that.

I blame Bush because Sean Penn showed up at New Orleans before FEMA did.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Yeah, the aftermath of Katrina was Bushs falt. Taking all that time to get there.

 

[Catman]

Yeah, the aftermath of Katrina was Bushs falt. Taking all that time to get there.

I think Bush became recently the President to take the most vacations. What a bastard.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I think Bush became recently the President to take the most vacations. What a bastard.

When 9/11 happened he was in Floridia reading a book to little kids.

 

[cryptic name]

Maybe he could have saved us from 9/11, but I have a feeling he still would have f--ked up with Katrina. The mofo was on VACATION when it happened!

in all fairness, a hurricane was about to hit a city. at the time that's no reason for the president to get put aside everything. it was the handling of the aftermath where he f**ked up royally

 

[Catman]

it was the handling of the aftermath where he f**ked up royally

Thats what I was referring to.
