You should also remember that we crushed the taliban within a month when they pissed us off. And we aren't meddling in other countries' affairs right now; we're fighting a direct war between us and half a dozen violent groups who hate us. If you didnt know, it was actually those violent groups (most working with Saddam) who set up Iraq to be the next battleground. They actually spent several months preparing, and even provoking the US intentionally. We can crush the Iraqis any time we need to, and we aren't "meddling" in affairs, we're kicking ass.

There is no reason for the US to leave the UN. We have been getting along well with all members except for France (who was the only country against the Iraq invasion, and was receiving bribes from Saddam). There is no way Bush would ever leave the UN, nor is it likely that his successor will. It would be a horrible idea.

It's too bad for you, Hammurabi, but we are going to teach people tolerance. This will not be an oppressive democracy because the world is watching. Oppression occurrs when people turn a blind eye. That wont happen now. Not when the entire world is looking on, holding its breath (figuratively) for the outcome.

Secondary Note: Black people (only the original two generations are African-American) had a bad ride. However, those problems have almost been completely cleared up, and only a backlash from the removal of the oppression is left to clean up (intolerance within the minority, hate groups in the majority like KKK, damage to the Southern economy from the Civil War).

Incorrect numbers. The official donation numbers for the US was a total of $1.1 billion. However, you must remember that a score of countries are all donating in the hundreds of millions. Would it suprise you to know that a global comment was made from the countries in that area suggesting that the US has now been giving too much aid?

The war in Iraq is completely different and not a good comparison. We are literally building a new country from a the ground up, one that is a foothold that will trigger a revolution in that area. Also, a large portion of the money that is being spent on Iraq comes back home afterwards (our equipment). The military is only 18% of our annual budget, though, so it is suprising how much concern it gets. Other sectors, such as Social Security (21% of the budget) should get a far larger amount of attention.

Everyone hates Communism because it is not physically possible to implement it. Although by definition Communism + Democracy is required for the perfect society, it also requires perfect people. We dont have perfect people. Therefore any Communist set up will degenerate into Poor vs Wealthy pillaging, a Socialist govt., and poverty. Atleast a dozen countries have attempted Communism and the final result has been tragedy every time. Communism is a flawed system that cannot work, and because it has spawned a corrupt Socialist setup that caused a lot of pain every time it was attempted, there is now a major belief that Communism = bad.

The principals are right, but one single question: Do you actually think that this will happen for the next 1000 years or so? Think of it. The USA can't do this. They can't win this war.

You are correct: the US cannot win this war alone. However, we aren't in this alone. We already have nearly 100 other countries who support us and a position you can not fight against politically. We have been making a large amount of headway.

And it's hard for them to get allies, because of one, specific reason: You may have your speeches about freedom, but it doesnt change the fact that the US wasn't build by free people. It was build by slaves.

No, it wasn't. What gave you this idea? The Southern Plantation owners? They made up less than 0.5% of the US population, and still less than 5% of the population in the South. Slaves did nothing to build the US; it was built by free men and women.

The recent hate in politics is because the United States has recently been going through a major political shift from the Democrat party to the Republican party. On the Republican side there has been a rising digust with the Democrat party; on the Democrat side there has been a rising desperation and frustration against the Republican party. Due to this shift both sides are acting angier more often.

Global warming is interesting . . . We know for a fact (indisputable) that the world is warming up on average. However, we do NOT know if we have anything at all to with it, whether it is a natural warming cycle (the world has these, if you didnt know), orwhether we can even affect the planet at all. But we DO know that quite a few pro-environment/anti-human groups are manipulating the information just like politicians do to advance their political agenda. Why do you think that committee suggested massive green spending increase if not the fact that they supported the green spending in the first place? We have 0 evidence telling us conclusively that WE caused it. We only have evidence to tell us that it is happening.

There are three reasons. First of all, America is the last superpower. Secondly, America is superior in military and economic might, political influence, ingenuity, world negotiations, and motivation. Third, America is a melting pot of all the people of the world and is currently the best unified representation of the human race, so it has a lot of friends.

First of all, contrary to narrowminded beliefs, every war has three categories of reasons explaining it.

The first reason is the public reason, the thing that outrages or frightens the public enough to make them endorse the war; in this case that reason was WMDs.

The second reason is the conspiracy reason, the thing that all the anti-<insert leader> people rally behind; in this case, that reason is the oil in the Middle East which we can not actually exploit at all.

The third reason is the true reason, the thing that motivated the actual government to go to war; in this case, it was a combination of a military action to cause a revolution of Democracy and peace in the Middle East to finally fix all those problems, and an attempt to stabilize this region and improve it to flush out the terrorists and kill these bastards before they can do some real damage to us. These two reasons are what motivated Bush and Congress to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The other reasons were not even close to sufficient to force any action on their part, but those two are.

Second of all, Africa would be a better conquering prospect than the Middle East. What you seem to forget is that Africa has areas where diamonds are worth less than water. If we invaded Africa we would earn Trillions in diamond mining, while invading the Middle East only assures us a stable oil supply. Africa would be a better prospect for politicians to make dirty money from, much better, but it does not have any sufficient problems that require our intervention.

Although a few extremist gladly accepted the Europeans that tore down their government to create a true democracy, where everyone's vote was equal, most of the americans were opposed to being liberated and fought back furiously.

This is complete bullshit. You obviously have not been to Iraq nor even spoken to an Iraqi if you believe this. The true situation is that many non-Iraqis who are terrorists hate everyone and want to kill us for trying to help people, and also the Suni population is scared that they will face retribution from the Shiite majority population because Saddam was a Suni. So we have terrorists and we have people who are honestly scared that karma will find them.

Oh yeah, and America would pwn Europe because they know for a fact that we have thousands of times more nuclear weapons than them, complete air superiority, strong naval superiority, and an overwhelmingly good defensive position should we need it.

The response would be a VERY angry America (if the president died). I mean so angry that we would absolutely OBLITERATE every single member of the terrorist organizationt hat did that. If the president died we would never stop hunting these guys, and I doubt they would ever get a trial. If it was a country that did it, not just a terrorist organization, we would pulverize that country until everything was obliterated. We'd tell the people to run like hell and drop so many bombs on their country that only dust was left.

lol! Presidential election? You sir are misinformed. This has nothing to do with a president. This is an election to determine the 275 (?) people who will write a Constitution for Iraq and elect hundreds of people to different key positions. The turnout for Iraqi voters in registration is absolutely astounding. This is not "forced" on them. Although there are about 10,000 people running for all the offices combined, that doesn't matter. This is something too important to let misinformed judgements halt it.

Har har har, what crap I see here today.

A. You fools can't say why everyone voted for Bush because they had a list of reasons that were their own and they can NOT be stereotyped into one major group. Any attempt at that shows that you voted for Kerry or you are foolish.

B. The USA does not have a democracy. We have a republic. A true democracy requires more manageable numbers, so we settled for a republic with democratic foundations. The system has worked and will work for centuries more. Lobbyists don't control anything, they can only try to convince our leaders. Bush's election isn't an example of the "failure of democracy," it's an example of exactly how democracy is SUPPOSED to work. No matter what the "dumb fucknuts" say, everyone else said Bush is the best choice. Who cares if only 1/4 of the total eligible population voted, a majority of that 1/4 voted Bush. Or in other words, Bush has the backing of 7/8 of the US population (if you didnt vote you will support either). The true difference is that the "dumb fucknuts" talk a lot more and a lot louder than the happy people.

C. Democracy sucks, but every other system sucks worse. There is no better system than Democracy or a Democratic Republic. Every other system relies on the luck of the draw to get appropriate leaders that will save it from chaos.

D. Giant robots would suck. The required distances between segments for the robots to be giant would slow their thought proccesses down to the point that they become "retard" computers. Besides the fact that most of their body mass would be supports to keep them from crushing themselves, they wouldn't know any better because they would have everlasting preconceptions which no one could break because we programmed them to be that way.

You are in no position to criticize Bush. According to national statistics (look them up yourself), the average American provides 13 cents per day for foreign aid through taxes and 5 cents per day for foreign aid through non-government groups. That means you only give $18.25 voluntarily per year to help people, you lazy ass. Bush gave 550 times what you probably will this year, and he gave it for a single event.

Also, Bush's salary is exactly $400,000 per year. He gave 2.5% of his yearly salary for a single disaster. The average salary for middle class citizens is $60,000 a year. 2.5% of that salary is $1500. Until you get off your ass and donate that much money to the tsunami victims you have no right to criticize Bush. Your measily 0.03% of your salary donation to charity each year isn't cutting it if you want to call Bush stingy.
