War in Iraq and on Terrorism

I have found it very difficult to form an objective critique on the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism. While I have a predisposition to favor Bush because of sharing similar beliefs, I simultaneously do not wish to naively and ignorantly support someone or something that I have not intelligently processed and considered. Incidentally, this is a very difficult task to undertake due to the fact that the news and media are so politically charged and biased towards the beliefs and agendas of anti-Bush advocates; therefore forming an objective stance about the situation seems next to impossible. My gut instinct and subconscious conclusion about the war, however, were articulated almost perfectly in this cartoon by political cartoonist Michael Ramirez.
