Thank you, America!
Fo making the right choice. Ending the long dark road of Arrogance of Power, Fear, Corruption, Polarisation, Confrontation.
12 years of intensely divisive years, sending the US plummiting in global standing, has now been ended Thank you, American Voters, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for giving Rummy the Great the boot, now waiting for the demise of the other Prince of Darkness; Cheney. His heart condition might be a good excuse?

I appreciate your thanks but I wonder why you hold me responsible for Bush/Cheney when I did not vote for them nor approve of them or their policies, etc?
America is as diverse as any country. To say 'we voted the right way' is not exactly correct as there are still millions of those beasties you hate so much, the far-right Republican/Christians. To blame all of America for Bush is equal to thanking all of America for the current power shift, no? I can think of many, MANY Cellarites who voted Republican this Midterm. Did YOU vote for Blair? Can I hold you responsible for him? Shall I spew all my hatred for him at you? That seem right to you?

OMG - like Kerry, or Gore for that matter would have done any better??? Puhlease. I'm not condoning anything that anyone did, but really people - would you rather be fighting those a**holes over here?? Don't forget THEY attacked US not the other way around.
I know that I am gonna get SLAMMED for saying that, but there is too much BS floating around not to have a grain or two of truth mentioned here somewhere. |

For them, we are a big, naughty toddler who needs a smack. They don't care how our policies effect us, they only care how our policies effect THEM. IOW--we should not vote for what is best for ourselves and our country, we should vote for what will ultimately be best for Britain. They'll be happy to tell you how to vote! Just ask them!

Are you saying Iraq was partially or wholly behind the attacks against us on 9/11/01?

Abso-freakin-lutely, as well as many many other atrocities against mankind. To think that there was no relation to Saddam whatsoever is incredulous.

The problem isn't that people don't think America has a right to defend herself from attack. It's that people don't see America's defence as in anyway related to the invasion of a country which in no way posed a threat to either America, or Europe. Iraq was not connected to 9/11. In no way was Iraq, or Saddam connected to the group who carried out that attack. It was not a war of self defence/protection. It was a war to remove Saddam's government from power. Now, whether or not that was right or wrong as a war aim is another debate. The point is, if the war was about removing another sovereign nation's leader and not because of that nation attacking America; how is there some kind of choice between fighting them over there and fighting them on home turf? The battle in America was never on the cards. Brianna, when the 9/11 attack happened, Britain held out its hand to America. Our sympathy was assured and deepfelt. We were angry at what had been done to our friends. Do not read current anger at American and British leaders launching a war founded on lies, against a nation who posed no threat to either of us, as some kind of lack of interest or caring in what happens to America and Americans. There is a big difference between disagreeing with a country who went to war and wanting terrible things to happen to that country. Last edited by DanaC; 11-09-2006 at 12:46 PM. |

Check out this video. It's hosted by a lefty site, but the video is of Bush.
In it Bush says "nobody has suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack. Iraq was a — Iraq — the lesson of September 11th is take threats before they fully materialize, Ken. Nobody’s ever suggested that the attacks of September the 11th were ordered by Iraq." |
