Quote:Bush doesn't deliver on everything but he's quite realistic with what he promises, unlike Kerry who promises everything from higher minimum wage to better world opinion. I wish Bush could comment on other countries like France and point out exactly why we couldn't get them on our side for the Iraq war, but he can't because he's working to get France and other countries back on our side. (for what reason I have no idea, I saw screw the greedy bastards)
France didn't join you because they didn't believe 1. Iraq had WMD 2. Iraq was a threat. Both of which I agree. You think its because France has financiel stakes in the region if I'm correct. You say that's the reason France didn't join the coalition, I say money is one of the reasons the US went there in the first place.
Have you ever been to France? If not then please don't call them greedy. They're lazy but not greedy
. And you don't understand why France needs to get good relations with the US again? Same reason as every country. I think the most important thing for the future is to set aside our differences and work together on as many levels as possible and Bush seems to want the opposite with his arogant, we are better than anyone attitude. Think about if Putin said "you are either with us or against us" and all those other comments Bush made making it seem like he's king of the world. I bet you wouldn't like Russia much then. I really don't understand how you can wave the hate against the US Bush created so easily when there was so much sympathy after 911. I see it as a clear example of bad leadership. I would be so ashamed for my president. I would have expected US citizens to set things right but it seems a very real posibility now that we'll get 4 more years of the same.Quote:People hated us before Bush was in office. The only reason there are more terrorist attacks is because we are threatening their very existance. If you back a wolf into a corner he will bite back with everything he has.
I agree you were hated by some before Bush. What I'm amazed about is what happend after 911 compared to now. After 911 the whole world was on the side of the US. I think sympathy for the US was never bigger. If Iraq hadn't happened the US would still have the support it had after 911. All those countries would be much more prepared to fight the war on terror. This is the single biggest flaw in the Bush administration, making the world hate you more. This way you'll never ever defeat extremist muslims since its not a country or group of people you can attack and kill (as your candidates,both, repeat over and over) but its an idea, an state of mind, which was fueled by your president.
Cidien: Don't you agree that the war in Iraq was not good for the war on terror? That it probably created terrorist instead of getting rid of them and America isn't safer now? (BTW, thanks for showing your an inteligent voter by showing that you don't agree with everything Bush in that other thread).
One last thing is the voting record that keeps being used in the Bush campain. I'm not sure about this but the way I understand it is when Bush says he voted against (insert subject) 250 times, those are 250 times out of 500. Bush never mentiones those 250 times he voted for. Its very easy to say he voted for taxes xx times when you don't have time to explain which taxes and why the vote was made. I hope people can see through this scare tactic by Bush.
