I'm sorry about your cousin. I hope I didn't come off as belittling, it just gets frustrating for me sometimes because as much as I'm not a fan of Bush, it feels like most of the time people just jump on the anti-Bush bandwagon because that's what they're told.
Like I said, I don't want to belittle people's troubles. It may sound contradictory to what I said before, but I do think you have some right to resent him, even if he's not the direct cause of a lot of the things happening. I guess it's easy for me to defend him because I haven't really been effected by the war.
