One thing some of you seem to forget is that our President doesn't *do* anything without the rest of the government behind him. It's not just one person making the decisions, it's MANY people making the decisions. So, Feraess your assertion that no other person would think the way Bush does is completely incorrect. He has the backing of our entire government, and an unprecedented majority of the US citizens.

Elric, that's one of your weakest arguments I've heard in eons : "you don't have to live here" ??
In case you weren't aware, the US's the most powerful country in the world, and as such its influence on the rest of the gang is tremendous. With a sense of drama one could say that a single word of Bush can change the world. So although it's perfectly understandable that you personally don't care what we think of the US, the rest of the world can hardly be ignored your leaders.
And Sil, of course when we say Bush, we mean the entire bunch of hawks (Rumsfeld in charge?) that form his entourage in Congress and Senate.

LB! For you I'll go in depth, because not every post that you make is a put down of my country or in essence of me, my family, friends etc. Though, I do know quite a few of your "feelings" about the USA its your thoughts that I try to change! Now, with that said, it shows ones ignorance of our governmental system to say what Fearass has said on so many occassions. The Presidents power is checked via Congress so its a very good system. If he wants to get anything accomplished he must do so with the Congress in order to pass permenant laws and/or to get the money he wants for ANY venture! (Is that better LB?). And the influence of our country is great LB, because deep down, everyone on the planet knows our system is the best, like it or not!!! LOL

Heh, Elric, I wasn't putting you down, I was merely reacting to your "who cares what you think about Bush" in your previous post . And E-man, you don't have to explain your system to me, it hardly differs from ours, so I think I have it more or less figured out Point remains that with Bush at least I mean the entire mob which supports him. Same as when we say "Osama did it" we actually mean the entire Al Qaeda network, yes ?

That was directed at Fearass, he cant make a damned point without trying to make a weak cheap shot at the US 2.) I know that *YOU* know, but since ya said it was a weak response I went into the depth that I normally would have if the poster was someone other than Fearass. 3.) I can't help it if you can't find any redeeming qualities to GWB jr LB! I had/have the same feelings about Clinton, and to be honest, I still honored his position though he deserved none A leader like Clinton, right now, would have been an absolute disaster for the USA LB. With what happened to finally wake up the ENTIRE population of the US on 9-11, hopefully we NEVER get another President like him.

Since when is criticizing Bush an insult to America or Americans?
I am an American, and I think Bush the idiot needs all the criticism he can get.
