Bush is a fucking idiot. Cheney is a dangerous Fascist one heartbeat away from the Presidency. The rest of the world should believe that more than 3/4 of the U.S. feels that Bush and Co are indeed the worst ever and that sweeping political changes are 12 (long) months away. Bush, Cheney and their henchmen should be tried as war criminals and have all their assets frozen and then used to compensate families that have been affected by the stupid warring.

Bush had the opportunity to pressure Israel into removing the checkpoints and the settlements. But all he did was make an ass of himself. He is clearly clueless and I am embarrassed that he is our President.

It's called rigged diebolt voting machines, and the powerful elitist group who support him and make all the presidents puppets. If they try to change things the elite does them in. Every person not in the elite few of the world is in this together. Peace.

Ahh Ayman, dont despair, you are doing the job of educating the world. I love the way you focus on the struggles of the common people. Something that isnt covered a lot. Nevertheless, You are doing a wonderful job.

Chin up, Ayman !
