As someone who thought the war was and still is a tremendous misuse of resources I came away from Fahrenheit 9-11 with a much higher opinion of George Bush.

I believe that the war the war was fought to secure and control the crude oil in the Middle East ;unfortunately this is a very important topic that Moore neglected in his movie.

During the movie Bush made a very interesting comment "The Democrats have no energy policy".

After watching the Democrats complain endlessly about energy costs for 2 years on C-SPAN; while the Republicans attempted to get ANWAR going I realized that Bush was right; the Democrats have no energy policy.

Even though George Bush refuses to spend adequate resources developing America's own large oil shale reserves (estimated at 2 trillion barrels) or provide the International Fusion Reactor Projecthttp://www.iter.org/ with anything but a trivial level of funding (the entire budget is only 10 billion dollars for 30 years and 75% of that money will come from Japan) I have respect Bush for going to war in the Middle East.

Bush in his well intentioned yet poorly executed occupation of Iraq is attempting to secure the oil that America needs for its future energy consumption and put hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and millions of Iraqis in harms way so I can have cheap gasoline.
Sure the man has a ruthless streak and is terrible implementer but he takes energy seriously enough to kill for it. Perhaps this is Bush's true saving grace. Perhaps he can solve America's energy problems.
