The killing of a culture, itself, is something different from straight up genocide. Genocide refers more to the erradication of a cultural group through killing all of it's members, rather than just killing the idea. Agreed though that cultures are suffering due to the intervention.

I hate it when people start viewing the world in terms of black in white, because with the billions of people we have, it's not going to be as easy as Bush thinks to put people into two respective categories (with the US and against it). The in itself creates a severe form of discrimination against people in the world who would like to support the US but don't believe in its reasons for going to war.

Agreed.

In a sense, Bush wants to wipe out everybody that disagrees with American foreign policy... Either by converting them to the cause, or destroying them.

Not everyone, just the nations we see as a major risk like Iran and North Korea. I think it's safe to say Bush could care less about the little fish in the pond that don't matter in the big picture.
