    Why did Bush go to war?

    Bush went to war, because the people he hired, Cheney, Rove...told him that he should.

    President Bush when running for the office countered the Press query as to what experience he had to be President, that he would hire the best people to oversee various departments and he would follow their advice. I think Bush believes he did what he promised and what the American people expected.

    I am sad that our citizens expect so little thought from their President.
