Of course he isn’t!
Just because you disagree with his policies does not mean that he’s “mentally unstable”. Frankly, the fact that you would suggest such a thing says a lot about the kind of person *you* are. “We have a difference of opinion, therefore I’m right, you’re wrong, and, oh by the way, you must be a right nutter for thinking differently to me!” Excuse me?
The following is an over-simplification, of course, but it illustrates my point of view. Iraq invaded Kuwait and an international coalition of forces kicked him out. Now instead of going all the way to Baghdad and removing Saddam, we left him in power and imposed sanctions so that he would never be able to build up his armed forces to a dangerous level again.
Then, of course, we find that he exceeded the limits of those sanctions. So, what do we do?
You, I’m sure would simply have gone and had talks with Saddam and then return to us saying that you had guaranteed “Peace in our time”. Luckily, some of us have better memories than you (or are better educated) and we remember what happened the last time someone (Neville Chamberlain) said that. So, we decided not to follow the same course of action that last time lead to a world war that cost the lives of 50 million people, we decided that *this time* we’d learn from past mistakes and sort Saddam out *before* he became powerful enough to be a big problem.
Again, I’m quite sure that *you* would say “Oh, but it wouldn’t have happened *this* time!” Really? Well, personally, I’m not prepared to bet the lives of millions of people on the belief.
Remember that Bush, and most sane people, want nothing more than the “Peace in our time” that you do. Unfortunately, there are evil people around who do not; the kind of people who fly aircraft into skyscrapers. Should we just sit around and do nothing about that?
Oh and Tom, can you explain exactly what your problem is with the video clip you posted a link to? It sounded like a perfectly good response to me. He said that it’s not an issue that had been raised before and therefore he would have to discuss it with his advisors before he could give a statement of national policy. That’s what happens in democracies. Or would you rather he behaved like a dictator? Would that make you happier? |

Just asking that question makes me question your own mental stability. Its pretty obvious the man is a habitual liar, thief, and charlatan. The man is simply a menace to the free world everyone in every land. America needs to get rid of their own dictator and all his cronies. Democracy cannot be built in other countries the way it was made in America. |

I'm American, and I'm with you, Shirley. I never voted for him once, and I shudder every time I think how much time is left before the next presidential elections. I feel for whoever replaces him too though, because they're going to be spending their entire presidency repairing everything Bush screwed up, hopefully, if they have so much as half a brain anyway! |

Yes, in my estimation George W. Bush is dangerously psychotic. |

Stupidity is not mental instability. he is just stupid. He never had the skills to be President in the first place. |

Well..what can I say...you've practically spelled out how I'm feeling (and I'm not British or American)...I too hope for the madness to end and pray for ALL the foreigners in Iraq whether they be in the forces, peacekeeping under the UN or contractors to return home safely |

I don't think he is any more unstable than the rest of us - he's just very, very simple. Days before his first election, Bartleby's encyclopedia site had 2 small 'magazine' items on it's home page illustrating the contents. One was about IQ testing of Apes who had been taught sign language. The most brilliant ape scored an IQ of 89.
Next to it was an article about the IQ's of American presidents. I can't remember them except that Nixon's was v.high - and George W.'s was 93.
The site drew no parallels - it just presented the facts. That version of the home page vanished within 36 hours.
That's the other bit of the equation. George may only be just this side of sentient but he has got people looking after his (and their own) interests. They're the ones that scare me. Plus the other 300 million pretty much like George as far as we can see. |

i think the real sad thing is that he believes all he says,unfortunately the American people voted him in and as they say they made there bed now they have to lay in it, i do think its a shame you have decided not to have a child because of your views because they may have grown up to challenge him |

Unstable would imply that sometimes he's quite sensible. |

He has to be unstable the mess he has got American Troops into.I believe they could heve got Saddam with out attacking Iraq.

well, the way i see it is that bush is the only hope we have.Anyone can jump on the lefty bandwagon and spout the usual irritating cliches about a man with double your iq(hes reached the office of the most powerful person in the world.and you are.?)
Its easy to take the moral high ground while you surround yourself with goods made from oil ,painted with oil and transported with oil, making inane statements that you have a right to make because united states and british troops are fighting to give you the right to be ignorant if you want to be.
Dont the oppressed people of iraq and afghanistan deserve that right too?People dont go to war because they like war....freedom isnt free my friend ..but its ok theyll pay for your freedom with their blood.president bush is aware of the costs in terms of votes that the iraq campaign is to him but he doesnt waiver and follows what he percieves to be right and true.
dont you realise that islam is your enemy, that when blair tells you theyre contributing to the economy he means his vote.
Muslims want your homeland . so what shall we do..we shall make their homeland a democracy so they wont feel the nedd to come to england.
usa doesnt cause terrorism ..it answers it with swift and blinding justice.
was usa in iraq before 9/11.
was it us foreign policy that made the palestinians murder the israeli athletic team in munich?
The next time your watching the bbc show lebanese or palestinian children smeared with tomato ketchup for the cameras after an israeli artillery response, think about the rockets they just fired indescriminately into israel.

He does show symptoms of pre senile dementia. Added to that the fact that he is a paranoid psychopath (All world leaders are, and always will be, it is in the job description) and a fundamentalist extreme right wing Christian to boot who is in bed with very venal multinational and secretive agencies, it does not bode well for world peace does it? He considers that the US constitution is an impediment to his job, lies consistently about anything that he does that is contrary to human rights (Extraordinary rendition, torture, making the US military invunerable to responsiblity for their actions in the World Court and lying about global warming) 75% of British citizens see Dubya as a bigger threat to democracy and world peace than Kim Il Jung. Why is that we wonder? Is it because of his gung ho arrogance and venal ignorance? We should be told. The public has a right to know! |

Yes I think he is control freak and possbile megalomaniac. I agree about not being able to speak properly. I hope the damage that he has caused his nation can eventually be undone but I'm not so sure. We are also in danger as a country because of him and Tony Blair being so "friendly" |

So by your reasoning before bush there was no Islamic terrorism ,there was no black september at munich no fatah and red army faction no baader meinnhoff no ira the first attack on the world trade centre never happened ,no taliban ,no Iranian revolutionary guard .You seem to lack objectivity somewhere and appear to need a scapegoat to cover your lack of reasoned thought. |

lol i dont think so, i live in south africa and we really have a retarded president i would do anything to have George Bush as SA president so appreciate him |

I think the fact that he was voted for presidential election in the first place shows that there is a definite veil of corruption and ineptitude over the ordinary hard working Americans eyes, by those who wish to obtain power for their own gains and not to help Americans. eg the dismal help provided to victims of Katrina.
I beleive he is a pawn. A very simple, insignificant pawn. |

if you accept a response from one who is not american, i must say that many many people of the world thinks that Bush is retarded and also he's not the real president of eeuu, he is just a Marionette of the real leaders of the counrty, you must recover the real democracy and freedom that you'd lost on the cold war. its on your hands not at the enterprises ones |

Bush comes across stupid because he is a puppet for the elite that is truly running the USA. Reagan for example had looked and "acted" more composed whilst doing conferences therefore convincing the world he was in control, Afterall he was an Actor.
In a nutshell Bush cannot act! And it also appears he listens to a live comlink when speaking in public which leads him into talking absolute crap and sounding very stupid.
Even Al Gore has made a movie," See the connection"? He would.ve made a great president because he can act.
So the answer to this question is: Is George Bush mentally unstable? A* NO, just a very poor actor. Arnie for president? HEHE |

Very unstable. As I see it, he has little or no contact with reality. |

Personnaly I don't believe Bush is a good president, either for the USA or as a world statesman. Doesn't come across as having the intelligence to do such an important job. That certainly doesn't mean he's mentaly unstable though.
However, when you say "what was once a reasonably mutually respectfuk world a few years ago", I'm not sure you've really sat down and thought about it. In the last hundered years we've had two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, hundreds of smaller conflicts all round the world, the IRA, Black September, Bader Meinhof, the cold war, the cuban missile crisis....
I could go on, but basically its pretty unreasonable to imply that the world was great before Bush came. It's not necessarily any better now I grant you... |

Insanity is ignoring a problem hoping it will go away. I would think that after what happened in Germany 50 years ago you Brits could learn from your mistakes. History does repeat itself. If you ignore a problem long enough it always comes back to bite you. |

NOW..........JUST STOP THIS NONSENSE.
He is an elected president, trying to run a powerful country. If you have so much to complain then why don't YOU run for the office? See if you can do any better. It is a democratic nation, you know? It was they who drew nations like USA and UK into war by blowing up buildings. They have 'brown-colored' brains.
We have to defend ourselves before those s**t-heads come into our country and destroy our peace and democracy. This is a simple formula. Why nobody sees this? |

He looks like someone who has bullied and manipulated his way across life, and joined up with a team of bullies and manipulators. You could well be right; watch this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2jnjeZNTsI&mode=related&search=bush%20lie |

On a serious note, no.
It is ironic though... you accuse someone of being stupid and you can't make it through two sentences before you start misspelling words.
There is a saying that this reminds me of. Something about when you point your finger at someone else how many are pointed back at you? |
