The World After Bush - 5 Nov 08 - Part 2

In a special one-hour show, Al Jazeeras senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara and guests look at what impact Obama's foreign policy will have on the world.

We review the Bush legacy and its consequences for Obama's presidency, and question how much of a departure from Bushs policies or doctrine will be possible.

Terrorists live in big houses, not caves. They drive sports cars, not donkeys. They care for wealth and power, not revenge. A terrorist is not what you have been led to believe. What is a terrorist? Short answer, anyone that benefits from suffering...

Think about it.

...the only thing is that its a reality show which cost millions of lives.

Adept, We occupy Iraq because there are people in mass majority who hate us"

We occupy Iraq because of the OIL plain and simple. The Fat Cats are over there stealing it and selling it and making huge profits.

If someone were to occupy Texas and exploit their natural resources would't you hate them too?

I know we disagree but on this point you are absolutely right, Canada is safe as long as we protect her and we will always protect her because she is crucial to the integrity of our (America's) land mass. A black man is president and rwanda is Africa's fault first

[AdeptPatriot]

I'm sorry we are preoccupied with a part of the world that hates us right now, maybe we should give up on the fight that is a legitimate threat to America and deal with other people's problems, that attitude is the reason that America is hated, it is our fault that we have helped so many including those that refuse to help themselves, so what about Rwanda and Darfur? is there government doing something? oh thats right! they don't have one at least not one that cares abut it's people

[AdeptPatriot]

We occupy Iraq because there are people in mass majority who hate us in that region of the world and have made that clear by destroying the world trade center in it's second or third attempt, strategically Iraq is Ideal, the trade off... democracy and an improved quality of life for anyone who will accept it, I see that many of you omitt Russia's involvement in all of these countries hence... all the Russian made weapons it is a war, a war against communism and terrorism and it's adverse affects

[GoofyVal]

He didn't fool ALL OF US. He LIED and fooled half of us. Most of us saw through his lies.

And this "War" is NOT a war. It's an occupation now. And we are NOT wanted, so we need to GET OUT NOW!

[MrHairyNutz]

Isnt Canada in Iraq As we ordered them to be?

Awnser: YES!

Moving on, well slavery has been around in virtually all countries in the past and we fought to crush slavery and we did just that & where was Canada at that time, oh right it was a slave of britain who didnt wipe out slavery in there empire tell decades before we did, we lead - thats why we arent irrelivent in this world UNDERSTAND.

The world ignored the genocide in Rwanda.

Race a factor in the election?..1 word..Obama.

[biggunsid]

Yeah you forget that your nation is built on f**kin' SLAVERY and BLOOD. Race is ALWAYS a factor in every election you have. You said that the races and religions mix best in your country, now you're saying, what, that they don't because you have too many people? And you also said that your country would never ignore genocide, but you haven't mentioned the Rwanda and Darfur comments. Oh, and thanks for puttin' Saddam in power the first time. That was a nice excuse for the invasion. Very clever.

[GoofyVal]

Obama is a Christian....not that it matters to me...he's just an intelligent, thoughtful, diplomatic, wonderful leader.

[GoofyVal]

Umm, I said the IRAQ WAR was not supported by a majority of people....I did not say Bush was not supported.....

Also, the people who did support the war were LIED to by bush to convince them (remember WMD?) We were not fighting for what we thought was right. BUSH sent our people to die for OIL.

PERIOD.

THANK GOD FOR OBAMA!!
