OK, I'll post it for you, as part of my reply. Hope this isn't regarded as rorting the system. ;-)

Bush is not the enemy you see, the capitalist class is the enemy, Bush merely their tool. To defeat Bush is not to be confused with defeating the enemy. All I am arguing is that the enemy has made a mistake by opting for an incompetent moron such as Bush to fill such a key position as US President. We should not try to help them out by correcting the mistake for them.

Sun Tzu advised: "To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself."
