Come now Z - surely it is possible to think well of Americans without thinking well of Senor Bush. If the two aren't mutually exclusive sets then there a whole lot of Americans that are non-republicans that must hate their own country and themselves a whole bunch. There are many posters on this forum that are scathing of one side or the other of politics. Let's face it, this thread could just as easily have been cut and pasted from something like the NRO as a Bush "party political". Let's not believe that it hasn't been posted to attract an opposing response.
Back on topic,
Welcome back MagiK - I see there is a ray of sunshine back in our lives. TL has someone to the right of him again and will be able to shift his politics back to a more liberal line now [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just one note that I wanted to make in reply to your original post - I think the 202 people that lost their lives on October 12 2002 to terrorism from Muslim extremists deserved more respect then the treatment they got from your one liner. True it hasn't happened again on American soil - BUT IT AIN"T OVER and you would be foolish to believe that the western world can return to its old levels of complacency.
