I say why don't we clean up our own back yard before butting in to others?
Poverty in great aboundance exists here.
Corruption is a mainstay in most every state, ESP so in the governments.

Yes other countries hate us.
We butt-in to often thousands of years of civil war history
in other countries, like a 2 year old with dirty diapers
trying to tell ancient folks that we know what is better for them?
What impudence we have? What super bloated ego?

I am not saying Americans in general are this way..
there is a difference between criticizing a president
vs aligning that with all Americans.
Many people of other countries even, that hate Bush and Us government,
do equate a difference between the 2 as well.
Bush has even gone so far as to put down our constitution
as just a piece of paper and he will do what he damn well pleases,
whether without the congress or peoples support.
This is how a mad dictator thinks and acts.
Today even to wear an Anti-bush t-shirt might get you arrested
as a enemy of the state.
Where has our right to freedom of speech
and passive political gatherings gone?
(Pretty close to Kent state but really far beyond that in scope.)
We go against even the United Nations!, large group of many nations.
that were against the current war.
Our government has lied not only in the reasons for invasion,
with no clear evidence
but against many folks in out government advice,
to lies to that country,
and to our own dead soldiers that continue to die.
Bush said we would be in and out and let the country then
decide its own government... what a crock.
He is really only after control of oil.

Chavez is close to next on list for their oil resources,
but frankly I see a major shift to Africa comming soon,
since oil rich resources have been uncovered there as well.
Once the continued mass genocide that is currently ongoing
is completed that will be an easy clean up takeover anyhow.
Any half-intelligent American, as 80 % seem to be..
have paid attention to what the government is doing.
There are those who have hate in their hearts who sling their hate in an attempt to shoot the messenger.
It seems most of the 20 % Americans that support Bush,
have profits to gain by doing so, or are from Texas.

I recently saw a wonderful documentory called * the Game of Their Lives*
in which recently an american was allowed to go and film interview the olympic,
polo N korean Team that swept the nations with their skill and high level of sportsmanship.
The thing that most amazed the filmaker and is evident in the film,
Is the happiness of the peoples of this so called *dictator communist* country.
They are all isolated from outside world, and seem very happy.
They are well taken care of, have great pride in their nation and strong
confidence in themselves
They truly love their country and each other.
Even though their leader is now dead,
they loved him so.. to still call him leader of their country
There are no inside rebellions.

Now Cuba has folks that are not happy,
and that is because of bad leadership in past.
But he is regaining the respect slowly,
by sincerely trying to make changes in his country
for the good of the people.
He has even offered FREE medical eye surgeries to Americans
that Cuba will pay for transport and back
for Americans that cannot afford the surgeries here!!
And they have an incredible success rate with a specialist team.
There are some Amercans, esp poverty ones that have had this done!

Look at the *dictator Chavez* in Venezuela!
Except for the corrupted ones that want drug cartels,
All of his people support and love him deeply.
But of course Bush paints him as a mad dictator,
only cause he wants that oil rich control ..
of which Chavez is having no part of
giving away his countries resources
that help sustain & benefit his own people..
to instead go into corrupt american government pockets.
