For someone who does not like how the public perceives him, Bush does not help his case any in this interview. Take this little exchange:
WILLIAMS: When you take a tour of the world, a lot of Americans e-mail me with their fears that, some days they just wake up and it just feels like the end of the world is near. And you go from North Korea to Iran, to Iraq, to Afghanistan, and you look at how things have changed, how Americans are viewed overseas, if that is important to you. Do you have any moments of doubt that we fought a wrong war? Or that there’s something wrong with the perception of America overseas?
BUSH: Well those are two different questions, did we fight the wrong war, and absolutely — I have no doubt — the war came to our shores, remember that. We had a foreign policy that basically said, let’s hope calm works. And we were attacked.
Last week Bush said that he never implied any connection between Iraq and 9/11, yet both Iraq and the War on Terror have again been lumped together and Bush says that the war “came to our shores”. Sure the war with terrorism did, but the war with Iraq did not come to our shores. Is it any wonder why people say the White House has tried to link Saddam and 9/11?
Three days after severely wounding my hand, and I’m finally able to fully type again. Granted, it’s still a bit painful to much more than a little pressure on the hand, but it works. Four stitches, five hours of waiting in the ER, and some excruciating pain from having the nurse irrigate the wound with saline *without* painkillers. (Bastard.) But, luckily, the doctor did a wonderful job on the stitching, and it’s been getting better and better since. …and it’s fun to show off that gnarly wound.
Speaking of which, if you really want to see what it looks like, here’s the link:

(Be warned, it’s not pretty).
