		<description>He is human.  And, as such, deserves forgiveness.  But he cannot undo his actions.  And those actions have shaped the nation that is now preparing to vote for his successor.  Those are the consequences I&#039;m talking about.  I mean, I hope he&#039;ll be in heaven, but I don&#039;t like him at all.  Is that clear?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know. What made me ask is reading the unifyer thing, I remembered this interview with him I saw, and the interviewer asked him that, and he seemed very pained by it. It was that interview that made me realize how self-righteous and judging I was, because he answered some very tough questions, including the deaths in Iraq. I guess I just saw him as human at that point.

It&#039;s like Lincoln. I used to be so mad at Lincoln. Even though he&#039;s dead, I used to be angry at him for his war, and almost starting a war with England, and the more I studied the Civil War, the angrier I became. And then I read things he&#039;d written. In my book, he&#039;ll never go down as a great, but I realized how incredibly selfish my anger towards him was. 

It&#039;s true, action have consequences, but I believe in Jesus, and that&#039;s why I love Jesus&#039; idea of forgiveness. There&#039;s no &#039;if&#039; to it.</description>

		<description>Reenactor19th,

It isn&#039;t funny to hate anyone for any reason.  Actually, I don&#039;t hate Dubya.  I just can&#039;t wait until he is an ordinary citizen living somewhere in Texas and has no power to start any more wars.  

If he said the war and all his other tomfoolery were mistakes, I would forgive him readily.  But he still thinks he is right.  And I don&#039;t know that he&#039;s in misery.  I think he truly thinks he&#039;s done the right thing.  But I don&#039;t.
And I am ready for a change.

Actions have consequences.  But there is nothing wrong with you.</description>

		<description>Always remember the Zen Master. &quot;We&#039;ll see.&quot;

I wanted to ask you this question. I am young, but I have a hard time relishing in Bush&#039;s misery the way some do. 

Is there something wrong with me? I&#039;m not be sarcastic, in fact sometimes I&#039;m worried. As a student of history, I have a hard time writing history now like some people do.

I just don&#039;t understand how people can say they &quot;hate&quot; Bush and laugh. How is it funny to hate anybody for any reason? Why is it funny that a man has probably been destroyed for the rest of his life. I look at it like that. I listen to Obama and I want so badly to believe, but how can we actually change when people laugh and salivate at the thought of Bush in misery. I hate thinking of any person in misery.

In order to change, shouldn&#039;t there be forgiveness? Perhaps I follow the Bible to closely here. I see nothing he&#039;s done that can&#039;t and shouldn&#039;t be forgiven. Am I wrong? I just don&#039;t understand how people enjoy any person&#039;s misery so much. Response greatly appreciated.</description>
