Bush's View of Murder
PRESIDENT BUSH: Well that's -- killers taking innocent life is, in some cases, sectarian. I happen to view it as criminal, as well as sectarian. I think any time you murder somebody, you're a criminal. And I believe a just society and a society of -- that holds people to account and believes in rule of law protects innocent people from murderers, no matter what their political party is.
That's from a White House Press Release
So I'm going to go ahead and assume that President Bush believes that the 100,000+ Iraqi civilians killed by the United States over the past few years are all guilty as Christian Sin.
Or, he's saying that America is not a Just Society.
Neocons out there want you to believe that there's a Good and an Evil. No nuance. No subtlety. No context. Yet watch them provide context for this, and then carefully and irresponsibly substitute Bush's vagueness for subtlety and nuance.

We have gone from the immortal eloquence of Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson and Roosevelt to "I think when you murder somebody, you're a criminal." We can't even get a laconic semi-wit like Calvin Coolidge these days. Call in the Huns and the Visigoths; we're done.
Hearing Bush talk makes me naseous. I'm praying for a president with a Yankee accent. And a soul.
to the other side, what america is doing in Iraq is exactly murder. it's all a matter of POV.
