I don't watch Fox TV nor am I an American. And yes I do believe that
Bush in many ways is feeding off world problems to stay in power as
well. Although that doesn't work very well in most democracies does it.
He may or may not stay in power but he is by no means assured of it by
his views. In fact going into Iraq was the surest way to put his
returning to power in jeapordy. If he had just gone into Afganastan he
would currently be easily crushing Kerry. As was it Blairs best choice
for continued power in England. All power to democracies. Let's all hope
the one in Iraq survives with the UN's help.
I find it sad and depressing that you believe everyone who disagrees
with you must be a preprogrammed idiot. That is an interesting way to
argue. Although attempting to marginalize people may be effective it
does not make you right.
Quoting hate sites in order to support your arguement would have as much
effectiveness as me looking up hate sites to support mine. I will not
stoop to this kind of filth. In fairness I don't believe you originally
started linking hate sites Keith.
I am under no illusion that American foreign policy in the Cold war era
was anything other than: If it wasn't communist it was right. They
supported rediculous dictators as did the Soviet Union. It was wrong and
they shouldn't have done it. see paragraph below.
Keith if you take one thing away from this understand this. The enemy of
my enemy is not my friend. This was explained to me by a muslim whose
family had been run out of Pakistan by the Sunis.
I wish I lived in your world of black and white. Where problems that
have been going on for centuries are obviously only the fault of one
party. When you feel like joining the real world I welcome further
discourse on this subject.
