answer to your question :
ok , so you're saying bush was re-elected because he offered safety to America , and we all know that didn't work out , his re-election only caused the death of American soldiers in Iraq , if anything inflicting wars on other nations would make America more dangerous and not safer by giving an extra motive or reason for terrorist bombings to take place in America .
Exactly, and what I'm saying is that not everyone understood that and not everyone voted for that reason either. The people who really bring this country down are the hicks who love their weapons and only vote Republican in every race because they've been brought up that way. For some odd reason, they love their right to bear arms out in the wilderness, and sadly many people vote to protect their arms right. I think that is pathetic and it angers me these people come in large numbers and low IQ's. Many of these same people vote for the Republicans due to religious views, including stem cell research, but the funny thing is these people are too imbecilic to even understand the basis of what stem cell research is and what it can do for humanity.
So instead of stem cell research that could potentially give us more life, people say no and we subscribe to medications for chronic illnesses while we send people to the electric chair. Hypocrisy rules the world.
The American public should have known his traits and policies before they re-elected him , bush was always known as an idiot , how can an idiot protect his nation from terrorist attacks ? How could a nation like America not realize this ?
It's more difficult than just that. People voted for Bush for other reasons as well, including what I said above.
Personally , i would vote for a president who has to offer peace which in return is the safest option to any nation . bush can't offer that .
That's why canada is without a scratch . This ofcourse is in my best interests .
Secondly , a president who is intelligent enough to lead my country . bush can't offer that .
But you did not exactly answer my question. If it came down to it, would you vote for a candidate that has killed thousands of people in America but has saved many lives in your country? Intelligence or not, people will do what is for themselves.
now , have i been impressed with a great nation ?
well , in the time that i have lived through , no i haven't . America has been in control for a long time . What you're saying may have some truth to it , i think it is possible for someone to envy or become jealous form America because of what it has to offer and this in return will generate hatred .
Most of the people that do hate America probably hate it for what it has done . That to me is more logical , i personally hate the bush government not because i envy America in any way but because of America's actions to the rest of the world .
My point regarding "great nations" is this... it is tough to find a powerful nation, or civilization for that matter, that has not destroyed the lives of others for the sake of their own. This greed for power and wealth is not only an American trait. We've known that since the Assyrians.
In the world we live in, there will always be someone that is fucked over. It's terrible indeed, but this is what we are as humans.
