Sorry about the dictator comment in the final...it was an off hand comment to a remark Bush made about how his job would be easier if he were the dictator of the USA. Perhaps I should have placed a smiley at the end of the sentence.
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." George W. Bush
Well I feel that if America feels that it is the sole Super Power in this world, it needs to lead by example. What has led to this "outburst" as you have described it, is that Bush "seems" to feel that he needs to piss off anyone he doesn't like by pointing nukes at them and threating those who don't buy in on the terrorism issue. He feels we can walk away from environmental issues and free trade, as long as it will get some votes. This is purely my opinion of course.
I can love my country and not love my government. They are 2 different things. I will do my part at the ballot box and vote for those who don't tow a party line on either side.
I'm not sure why you consider this an ouburst, Yorick. I did not use any CAPS.
I do have strong feelings against nukes, as is apparent in my post. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I do appreciate your views, though. Thanx!
