I justify it because so far, 1600 + people have died because of Bush's lies, and no one (to the best of my knowledge) died because of Clinton. And then there's the fact that politicians, as a whole, lie to us all the time. It's the results of the lies I think we're all reacting to on this one. Last time I checked, we still don't have a plan for extricating ourselves from the mess that Bush's lies have landed us in.
