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

OK sorry gotta add couple more things. First off we didn't kill their crazy leader. Shit I'm not 100% sure, but didn't we give them back custody of him? Also ya we did have influence on what type of government they will have. We helped them to create it, so that'd prolly be a good reason we had a little influence on what kind they would have. And this form of government sure seems to work I'd say. But we just helped them create a platform to build off of. They now have control and can mold the government to fit their society better. We just helped them create a platform to build off. Also to the guy saying what right do we have in other countries like Japan. Well for one, we will always have a huge presence in Japan. Why? Well because after WW2 they signed a contract saying they will no longer have a military and that the US will protect them from domestic enemies. So that's our business in Japan. As for the other countries. We aren't forcing them to let us have bases in there. We become allies, and they allow us to. They can kick us out whenever they want. And one last thing about how someone said something about going to war without the UN's approval. You think this is the first war we've fought without their approval?
