Mixing politics with religion only complicates matters, and thats EXACTLY what makes bush as dangerous (or maybe even more) as bin laden. Saying a regime is evil is just oversimplifying and putting things in black and white. Especially in the case of cuba. Most of the cuban problems are due to the US embargo promoted by the corrupt cuban-americans that live in miami (bush's little brother jeb, by the way, made his personal fortune doing shady bussines with them).
That is why president bush scares me so. A not very bright, ultra-religious and wrightwing fanatic in the presidency of the one superpower that can throw an atomic bomb and walk free is a REALLY scary thought.
1. My utter contempt/disgust/hatred for communism has absolutely and utterly nothing to do with religon. IMHO, communism always has been evil from the first day that it was concieved and will always be evil. It is every bit on a par with fascism.
2. Just because Bush is not (at least pre 9/11) the most eloguent public speaker, does in no way mean that he is lacking in intelligence. Public speaking talent simply does not equate to intelligence (political or otherwise). GW Bush is not an ultra-religous, right-wing fanatic!!!
