Its the only way the world can defang the US military.

Glad to see Americans coming around to this perspective.

American unilateralism and the misguided attempt to export the American way of life at the end of a rifle does nothing more than eliminate any last vestige of sympathy for America and her problems.

After 9-11 a French newspaper declared "we are all Americans now." America's response was ridicule and rejection.

The current headlines should read "we are all Venzeluan's now." Better that then suffer the fate of the Iraqui people at the hands of Saddham Bush: 60,000 lives and still counting.

A lot of Americans are dismayed at what the bastards are doing. I thought of leaving the country when Bush was reelected, but I decided it would be better to stay here and work to defeat the scumbags.

"Glad to see Americans coming around to this perspective."

Dear New Account -

I don't know where you live, presumably outside the U.S. To me, your comment seems typical of people who don't realize how much deeply felt opposition there is to this Administration and it's policies.

Problem is, the Bush Administration and their supporters have perfected the "shout louder" strategy of so-called public discourse. That has made it exceedingly difficult for dissent to be seen and heard.

I have never heard that expression before, but it is very appropriate!

...60,000 lives and still counting.

Were it only so. You are missing a zero at the very minimum.

The Bush administration is an embarrassment to every American, with the exception of our disloyal Christian Right. Please don't imagine he speaks for us - 75% of us would like him out of office next Monday if not sooner.

9/11 was a terrible event brought on by the Bush administration's stupidity at the very least and perhaps studied indifference to the deaths of a few of the "little people" in order to further their ends.

We had a golden chance to declare a new age on 9/12/2001. Instead we set the clock back a hundred years so George could have his chance at the so called "Great Game".

The character the Bush administration has displayed is more appropriate for a rickety west African kleptocracy than the world's last surviving super power.

Please forgive us ...
