    Do you think anyone else would have acted differently? Would a democrate stood by without going to war in the middle east?

I don't know why we're even having this debate in 2014, 12 years after the push to invade Iraq. No president since LBJ save for Bush has had the audacity to lie through his teeth to start a war (or escalate in LBJ's case).

Because you still seem to think it is the fault of Bush for what happened in his term.

We have had only a single president since Bush, Obama, who still has yet to go to war in Iraq even after all the things to have happened there with ISIL/ISIS/DumbFucks. Secondly, the conversation is not about LBJ setting the US back fourty years, it is about bush.
