The Bush Regime? Get a life you moron. President Bush does not have a regime. Its an administration. He has every right to be in Iraq. And contrary to what you may believe, the US is not there in vain. We found chemicals that would have been used in terror attacks or against his own people. So you want more innocent lives lost at the hand of Saddams REGIME? Yes, Saddam is the one with the regime, not Bush.

Lie detector you just proved yourself wrong.
Look at the continuation of the definition. "A social pattern", or whatever its exact words were.
Bush by far does not set the Social Standards, in fact, the US government never really has.

Yes but you are failing to apply CONTEXT.
That's the same as that propoganda crap saying we broke the UN charter, by using "penatentiary".
Penatentiary means both "detainment cell" and "torture room".
Now if you call something one prison a "Penetentiary" then in the english language you can NOT call a torture chamber, the same word when being used together.
So either it is "Bush's regiem" applying to the administration.
Or it is "Saddam's regiem" applying to the Social control his "regiem" does.
You are pulling hairs by trying to say "Bush's administration is also a regiem by definition so you are wrong blah blah".
No they aren't wrong.
Because they are following with context, and not mixing the definitions.

You're the one twisting facts by saying "Well Bush is a Regime too".
Get real damn.
What is the point of posting that, you know EXACTLY what they mean.
Just because you are clueless to what they mean by regime and why they use it the way they do, doesn't mean the rest of us are.

No, I do know you're right in defintion.
But I think you're detracting from the point when adding the 1st definition, it should just remain in context and be understood that the "Saddam regime" is different from the "Bush administration"
Afterall the creator of this post intended to mean regime as a bad thing.
So actually applying your definition works to debunk both of their sides
But being pro-bush I chose to take the side that would make it so that there is no "neutral" point of view lol
