When people make generalized assumptions about my country and my people based on our government's decisions, then that shows plain ignorance.

I love the USA, the people, the land, but I (as well as 70% of Americans) don't agree with what Bush is doing. This is his last chance to "fix" Iraq, and we all know he will fail. Hopefully in '08, there will be a better president. I think Barack Obama is looking good. Even if he is Democrat and conservative, he seems very level headed and steady handed.

My point is, all of you outside the US blasting us for what GWB has done, just remember- your country may be at risk for his mistakes, but the American people are dying for it in greater numbers than yours, due to elevated troop count, and higher risks for terrorist attacks on our country. Be thankful that you aren't spied on, have your mail randomly searched without a warrant, have your phone calls tapped, and prosecuted heavily for smoking a J.
Who says the US residents are not being spied on?!?!?!?!?! Fuckin GWB is up to more than meets the eye!!
