Will Iraq eventually become a sovereign state, or will it become a US protectorate? That is the bottom line in the current "status of forces" negotiations between the Bush administration and Iraqi leaders.

"we were hated and bombed when clinton was in office(a moderate liberal) and we had hostages taken when Carter was in office"

You do know that US governments have invaded and/or bombed ~50 independent, sovereign countries SINCE THE END OF WWII, don't you? And that's not counting the amount of direct interference in other countries, such as overthrowing democratic elections, supporting dictatorships, training and supporting death squads, etc. You want "safety"? STOP the killing and interfering!

You think that all the people whose lives have been affected by natural disasters in the US deserved to have there homes destroyed? These are innocent people, many of whom may not have even voted for George Bush.

If you really think that some fucking rain is gonna "put USA in its place" then you havent been paying attention pal. The people of the USA need to put its government in its place. Hoping that nature will come along and solve the problem is just backwards thinking and ignorant.

Please dont think all the people in America are for this aggression! We were decieved by this administration about 9/11. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12. We are a God fearing people with leaders that have their own agenda. To the world, please understand, to my fellow Americans, when will enough be enough?

Toshariqu. YOU ARE RIGHT!

America is "blood thirsty", We were blood thirsty at Iwo Jima, We were thirsty at the Alamo, we lusted to be killed by mustard gas in the trenches during WW I, we were just itching to catch lead for Hitler. In Japan, we were thirsty to die in brutal death/work camps. You see, we are Americans and we came from your town we came from Italy, France, England, Germany, Russia, the ME, Asia, everywhere. When we see our Brothers and Sisters being killed, we get VERY thirsty.

It sure as Hell is, but the point is that she is not the person to do it. All she managed to do with that stunt is undermine the power of our president. She managed to make the leader of the free world into the laughing stock of Iran. How the Hell does that help our situation with them?

God knows George is already having a lot of trouble with people laughing at him...

I believe that stint is something called "diplomacy". Its alot better to simply sit down and talk to people with mutual hostilities than to simply go and bomb them, isnt it?

[GreedyTrooper]

As for a "racist" government, yes our government is biased. Their bias is that they will do all they can to promote the American citizen (and probably make some money doing it...). Our government isn't perfect, I'll admit that. There are far too many liberals and morons in control, but God willing, that will change soon.

Well, in that regard, Europe is the one who put the Native Americans in the crossfire, and Australia is "filth". Jackson was a war hero. He was elected for that and his belief in the power of the common man, and he in no way mutilated corpses. Where you get you information is questionable at best... Katrina was handled poorly, but not by the Federal government. The mayor and governer never requested federal aid, so the National Guard couldn't move. It was the local level that ****ed up.

[GreedyTrooper]

If you judge us only on the internet and bias news, then I can see how you would come to this conclusion. In reality, America has put forth more money and more effort into humanitarian efforts than any other nation that this world has seen. Unfortunatley, when the shit hits the fan, only "Force" gets things done.

Nancy Polosi should be tried for treason, especially with that stunt she pull going to Iran. Hell, I'd rather four more years of Bush than any of this upcoming election's candidates.
