help them construct a better, more civil, and FREE government, and then give them back control. Isn't that what happened? Not only that, but in the , and now we have managed to contain China very well. We have become closer alies with India, Mongolia, and have bases and troops in each. Now we have bases in Iraq and Afghanistan with troops there as well. Countless numbers of troops in Japan. We're close enough to touch them if they ever even tried to flex their muscels at us. Not saying they want to start beef now, but who knows what the future may hold. I think Bush has managed to make our country much safer then it was in the past. We are also much more dedicated in a fight against terrorism then ever before. We managed to take over the capital in what, a month? Can you imagine the look on the faces of leaders of North Korea (or any other government in the world) watching the news, showing how quickly we advanced into that contry and how short of time it was until we were in control of the capital. Did you think nobody was going to die or sumthin? Innocent Iraqis and US citizens wouldn't die? It's war, people get blown up. It's the nature of the beast. And the military says to us troops, Don't die for your country, make them die for theirs. And I think we did just that. Bush is definately not a disgrace to this country I'd say.

This is crap... I usually like what you say dude but this is BS. I know im not gonna change your mind or anything. But i personally dont see how taking over a country and forcing our ways, and ideals is freeing a country. "here ya go guys...we killed the crazy leader guy, left you with no government. And now were gonna set up a government like ours and all will be good!" Or hey lets a have a military precence in any country we can.. thats crap. Wed never let another country do that to us...
We as americans are arrogant, self centered, and oblivious to how the world works.. most americans think the world likes us. And thats just not the case. I personally am not only ashamed of our president, but at what our "great nation" has become. Were like 1940s Germany without the killin of inoccent people.
I personally will be leavin this country as soon as its possible.
the only reason i would vote for Kerry is to keep bush out of the office.. i wouldnt vote for him normally, but i think bush is a monkey puppet
