Well I for one desired to see him gone, but then it is the choice of
the US voter to decide who leads them.

How NOT to win friends and influence people... :-]

It is more about US self-interest. Most countries work that way.
Still, President Bush does not seem the brightest spark around. As
during his early days he imposed an import tax on steel imports
causing a minor trade War with several countries. Due to the selective
work of these other countries, then the US economy lost out.
You could say that he is a very sort sighted President.
>Don’t you care what impact American foreign policy has on the rest of

On to the Kyoto Protocol now then? Well you can bitch on to Australia
as well then, when they were the only other country to walk out.
Anyway who cares? Not like it is the only planet that we have... ;-]
Since I am up on the science side, then scientists agree that human
activities are the main cause in warming the lower atmosphere. This as
a result is causing these unusual weather developments.
However, this lower warming of the atmosphere is not causing the upper
atmosphere to warm as well. This means that there is not yet a serious
threat to the planet.
Apart from this more extreme weather, then I believe that people
should be more concerned with aspects like with the rapid increase in
Asthma cases in general society.
>Does Iraq look like a success to anyone?
Well I see it this way... As all the time that the US and other
countries have troops there, then the local population will have an
ever increasing desire to forcefully remove them.
You could say that all along this situation is not one that you can
win by armed force. As the more people that they kill will only lead
to more people fighting them.
I also see it rather difficult to believe that the local Iraqi
population will even want a democratic system. As this is simply a
Western value that does not even mean too much when you examine it
closely.
The US need to learn that only the Iraqi people can decide what is
best for their own country. And having the Iraqi people like US people
is all down to giving them the respect that they deserve.
>Doesn’t it bother you that he’s alienated every friend you have?
Well he now cannot call on the UK to support another invasion.
Also Bush won't be invading Iran or North Korea any time soon, when
the US is already $400 billion in debt. All US public services have
been cut, except for burying their War dead that is, where in future
years tax increases will have to pay it all back.
Even Bush's space exploration plan is on the back burner. Nice idea,
but he must have known that there is no money this year to actually
pay for it. In fact it will be rather interesting to see where NASA
gets the money already spent on their Shuttle upgrades.
>What were you thinking???
Bush is more handsome than Kerry? :-]
>Prior to this, it was American policy and the American government that
>was so universally hated around the world.
Not so. Just mostly due to their one sided view to the Middle East.
Still, the US developed quite a few people who do not like them due to
their actions between WWII up until the end of the Cold War.
>Now it's going to be 'Americans' we hate.
Hatred takes a more hands on approach... like that done in Iraq.
>More sympathy for Bin Laden...
Sympathy is such a strong word. Understanding and disapproval would be
more appropriate for most anti-American thinkers.
Still, Osama Bin Laden is now the figure-head of anti-US hated, which
means that people who hate the US will now be more prone to rally
around his name. The downside to this is that they will now be more
prone to follow his actions.
The increase in bombings around the World is just the start of this.
>More attacks on American institutions...
That is the more likely outcome IMO.
As I said this is not a situation that the US can win through armed
force.
What the US is doing in Iraq is to westernize them. And it is no good
building schools, hospitals and the like if these are seen as symbols
of these disliked Americans.
The US established government in Iraq is likely to collapse once all
these armed troops pull out. When the Iraqi people will decide for
themselves who leads them and in what way.
Should the US build a strong new government base, then they would have
brought a long and bloody civil War to Iraq.
>More isolation.
Bush should now more prone to healing the rift between the US and
other countries. That is what these other countries are currently
asking for, where Bush not being able to afford blowing another
country away gives him a good reason to.
>How blind can you dumb rednecks in middle-America be, not to see this?
Paranoia can work wonders.
Still, I doubt that few people who saw WTC 9/11 could have doubted
that day that War was at hand. Pearl Harbour II. And I did much notice
how Bush did his post 9/11 speech without using the W word.
American pride got wounded, where they will go and blow the hell out
of this planet until they are happy. Not quite yet then...
>If you get hit again,
I would say that the odds of that have since increased, but that is
for future history to decide.
>or your economy goes into a deep depression,
That happens all the time.
>the American people will be getting exactly what they deserve!
They will always get that. As no amount of money or armed troops can
defend them from bad thoughts in people's minds.
