Ochi reason number one...

[Grumpy]

You have no clue how our system works as evidenced by your first paragraph.  I cant help you if you won't learn.

And as to the rest of your post, thank you for sharing your views on why you do not care for the current President.  He will stand or fall on his own merits, or lack of them, in the next election.  America has a pretty neat system of government.  Every four years, we either keep who we have, or toss them out, based on a lot of variables.  If enough people share your view, then he will only serve one term.  If more people disagree with your views, then he will server four more years.

We survived Warren G Harding, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan, and Bill Clinton nicely.  We will survive the current administration as well. 

Works for me.

Where you got the impression that I am all agog over President Bush confuses me.  I have freuently expressed my dismay of the 'tax cuts solve all evils' approach to the economy, and am not sure that the statecraft needed to be in charge of the world's most powerful nation has been seen since George Bush, SR, who I greatly admired, has been seen in the Oval office since.  I need not love the resident of the oval office to have a different view than your hatred of, or disgust with, the current President.

As I have said before, in 2000, I was a huge supporter of Senator McCain, and was very disappointed that he failed to win the Republican nomination.  I would have voted for Ralph Nader long before VP Gore, for the simple reason that I have been watching VP Gore for quite some time, since the mid 1980's.  Bill Bradley might have gotten my vote, but not against Sen McCain.

Ahhh the lovely Occhi shows his colors. Such a sweet man.

We, the US military, are killing Iraqi citizens. They do not want to be "liberated"...that is a lie. Like so many other things being told to the US people by our govenrment and the so called "news".

You bring up Shiia, you fail to mention that we encouraged them to rise up against Saddam in 1991 and then abandoned them to be slaughtered. Another kind move by the US governemt, as if we even pretend to care about the Iraqi citizens. Quit spouting that crap. The notion that we the US government cares the tiniest bit about 1 Iraqi citizen is a gigantic load of bull#$%&. That is NOT why we invade countires. Spare me that drivel.

You fail to mention that we didn't give a #$%& when Saddam used chemical weapons against ouor enemies...in fact we gave them the weapons.

What's happening in Afganistan right now? I understand they "forgot" to plan humanitarian relief there. The warlords are back in power, the country is in disarray...in fact the news the other day was something like this "Iraq this, Iraq that....1/2 hour later, oh yeah, we bombed in Afghanistan again today" ....do I find this disgusting? Yes, very. I have problems with THE US flexing its muscles across the world on a RELIGIOUS CRUSADE...anoother point you have failed to address with all your snotty little rant about how stupid I am.

Do you understand that you being smarter than me, knowing more about the US govermnment, and American history has NO BEARING on the morality of the US government invadeing countries for personal gain?

The UN sanctions don't effect Saddam. You think he ate badly? You think his houses got run down? It's moronic, it hurts the people, which no one seems to give 2 #$%&s about. Why is this hard to understand?

Funny you say that the US did not act alone, they acted with the "security council" in 1991, would that be the same one that is entirely against this illegal war? Yes it is. So what do we do...screw 'em, we do whatever we want because we are big bad America....

Know how many vetos France has used vs how many the US has used in the History of the UN? France has used its veto 18 times. The US 76. When they do we have a National outcry, change the names of food, this is Politicians BTW, not just hill billy locals.

The estimated military spending in 2002 was $850 Billion for the enitre world. Half from the US, .0015% from Iraq. Yet they need disarming? Wrong, we need disarming, and we are proving it every day.

Hers some more....

89% percent of US citizens are getting their news on the war in Iraq from the TV. 92% of stories on NBC, ABC and CBS from 9/14/02-2/7/03 originated from the white house. It's called brainwashing. Enough of your "big Lie" comments...at least I have the guts to question the murderers in our government.

50% of weapons entering the global markets come from American firms.

We manufacture terrorism, we manufacture war. It is OUR regime that needs changing. No matter how many times you call me stupid, that will not change.
