this made me laugh.

his father was just another brutal dictator.

'Since Bashar Assad took over power from his late father Hafez, some had supposed that the Western-educated Bashar would take a more enlightened policy towards Israel. Hafez Assad was a brutal dictator who ruled by terrorizing Syria's citizens. Though Bashar has made some token overtures to his citizens to loosen the reigns of oppression, his stance towards Israel is no less harsh than his father. In fact, at a recent Arab summit held in Amman, Assad characterized the Israeli people as "worse than the Nazis." The Syrians have consistently been among the most extreme nations in expressing hatred for Israel, and Bashar Assad's ascension to power has done nothing to moderate that.'

dont get me wrong, I love what America as a whole stand for but this administration is just begging and pleading for more and more enemies as time passes by. Our economy for working class americans is at an all time low since the great depression, gas prices are at a high, and our usual methods of diplomacy aren't being seen as effective by our friends. We ruled with an iron hand by being a helpful and prosperous nation...now nations see us as a threat and just may be gathering WMD behind our backs to punish us for what Bush is doing. I don't agree at all with the administration and I pray and hope there won't be 4 more years of homeland terrorism

Sounds to me.:thumbsup Looks even better.

Think for yourself...because that was said in an emaotional speach doesn't make it true, just a very effective emotional tool.

Quote:

After 9/11 as CIA Director George Tenet said so eloquently. "The gloves are off."

That's eloquent? It's a Hollywood one-liner, for fuck's sake. But once again, very effective. "Cool, Rambo's on our side! We can't lose!"

that's the beauty of America. Unlike Syria, if you dont like the Pres., you can choose to vote for another candidate.

For all the people that bitch about GW, how many of you bothered to vote? That last election was so close it isn't funny (and there are tons of stories/theories as to how GW's baby brother fixed the FLA election and gave him the presidency) - let's see what happens next time. Will Americans actually get up off their ass, register, and vote? Or will you allow people who do not see things the way you do choose who will run your country?

FYI, kid,
Carter's inflation - 18% a year
(today's 2.9%)

Carter's unemployment - 11%

I know you weren't born than, so your life span is the only memory and knowledge you have,
but still,
I can't beleive there is no high school in 50 miles radius from where you live.

Gas prices in USA today are 1/2 from the gas prices in Europe.

as for your prayers,
I have an exercize for you,
take a piece of paper and drop it on the floor.
see it land on the floor.

now PRAY that the piece of paper go UP when you drop it on the floor.

When it happens, the rest of your prayers will be answered as well.

I cuncur.

Might I ask what Civil Liberties me, you and everyone else have lost?

not 2 sure about this.:Graucho

your Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great grand kids won't even get to see this.

Now here's a person that knows the american way. Kudo's:thumbsup :thumbsup I might add though I bet the Americans that are knocking America, I will give you odds NOT 1 in 40 of' em even knows were they report to Vote. does that tell you anything.


Want the bet?

man I am very happy to read that some USguy is able to think about that this way :thumbsup
I think I'll finaly change my oppinion on US people :winkwink:

yes.. and its not only oil or isreal.. there is probably even more to it... well, at the end, its for the good of american people only.. i guess you can just sit back, relax and watch since there is nothing we can do about it..

wmd.. liberation... pffft.. that was the worst mask i've ever seen a US president came up with..

The United States of America
IS NOT A **democracy** and I'm not telling you what it is. Go do some research. I see that word over and over democracy. I repeat the UNITED STATES of AMERICA IS NOT A democracy.

i'll try not to be, thanks for the tip.

take a wild guess what they want to do with your infidel ass.:Graucho

Sorry man but that comment was dumb too...hahaha. I am glad you love what america stands for as we all should since we cherish our freedoms daily.

If you honestly think that the "depression" right now is because of the administration you are sadly mistaken. If you think that none of this was starting during the reign of a democratic leadership you are wrong. This "depression" is simply a cycle that our economy must go through in order to build itself back up again. Without set backs we would never see failure and would thus never learn from mistakes. I hate to say it but this government is not perfect, but it is the best one out of any of any other country on this planet.

The current economic status is not the fault of the republican party nor Bush as a president. It is simply the result of a downturn in the economic movement of this country. The president alone cannot change the economic status of this country. As a matter of fact the man primarily responsible for the great economic times we saw a few years ago is still holding his position. His name is Greenspan. Look back through history you will see nothing is different, it all happens, but everyone is so quick to point a finger at someone else instead of at theirselves anymore.

Andy

shave it?

what is a Republic, Alex?

come on put you're thinking cap on.:Graucho

We'll have a new president soon enuff so no reason to worry...

theres no democrat that can beat bush without a third party candidate taking a lot of conservative vote.

A repeat of 92 would be the only possiblity when Clinton won with only 43% of the vote and Perot taking a lot of conservative vote.

duuuuuuuuuude... i would consider the early 80's to be "in the last 20 years".

ever wonder why the big cars of the 70's _really_ disappeared?

fuck, gas crises. what? no bush? fuck.
