We know that we've had a crappy President.
. Yet we still stand by him because we don't want to appease to Europeans who hate us for their
anti-American sentiments or the terrorists that want us to die for our foreign policy.
No, we don't stand behind him at all. Very few people, and I daresay the more... back-country cowboy types... still stand behind him, and that's a
matter of pure over-the-top machismo than any kind of rational opinion of the "man."

Maybe you think they're illegal wars, but, they aren't wars at all technically. They're "military actions". We haven't had a real war since
WWII.
We've stopped caring about that other stuff. We know that our military does some dirty things and stupid things. We're just hoping that Bush
doesn't make our country worse before the next administration settles in.
Alright. So if I shoot somebody, it's not technically shooting them unless I hold a vote and declare it a shooting? Come off it.
And no, we absolutely haven't stopped caring about it. Everyone I know is horrified by the "other stuff" that's been carried out in our name.
EVERYONE. Read that?

I understand your resentment toward Bush but I think it was necessary that we responded to these terrorists even though I disagree with many of his
policies. What do you think would have happened if we just let them badmouth us on the world stage? Would you rather have us appease to the
terrorists?
People stood behind us when we went after the terrorists. Most of the world had problems with us when we... excuse me, when BUSH started using
terrorism as an excuse to take care of his own personal oil and power grabbing agenda.
Oh, and you don't bomb cities because somebody badmouthed you. That's just juvenile.

Terrorists? So you don't believe Al-quaeda is a threat?
So you don't believe in a war on terror?
You believe 9-11 was caused by our Government to take control of the world?
In answer to those questions...
1. No. Al-Qeada's only as big a threat as its CIA backers make it out to be.
2. No. No such war has ever been waged; I merely see a war on foreign sovereignty.
3. Yes. If, in fact, the attack was carried out under the leadership of Osama bin Laden, then it was under the leadership of a known CIA operative.

Frank, enough. You're making my country look bad. I just hope the people who are badmouthing my entire country because of the ignorance you're
displaying right now will quickly realize that you are very much alone in your opinions over here.
