...The journalist went on to remark that even in the homeland of Bush’s staunchest ally, Britain’s Tony Blair, a majority of the public was opposed to US policy. “Why have you failed?” he bluntly asked Bush.
Accustomed to the pliant US media, Bush was plainly taken aback by the pointed question. He retorted that, unlike other countries, “We are a transparent democracy.” He then elaborated on his conception of “transparent democracy” as one in which political leaders pay no heed to popular sentiment. “I do not govern by opinion polls,” he said. “I just do what I think is right... I am going to act according to my beliefs. I am the president of the United States.”

Say that another bigger country thinks that we should not be a Capitilist or Cristian Country the way we are now. They want to make us the way THEY are. Does this sound like what we are doing in Irak? I sure wouldn't like it if anyone would try to force us into changing it works for us. This may not work for everyone else. So, can you blame the people in Irak for fighting for their way of life? I know that we would. Even if other countries don't agree with our Capitalistic system. It's OUR way of life and nobody is going to change it. SHOULD WE CHANGE THEIRS?

I read about all these Immigrants feeling bad about everything around them. I came to USA 7 years ago, and never felt like an outsider. I think this country is very accomodating to foreigners. Thank you all.

'GOP Senate candidate Bob Corker was detained last week by U.S. Border Patrol officers as he was preparing to film a second campaign commercial along the U.S.-Mexican border.
“We require that politicians who come here to exploit border security issues for campaign commercials obtain a filming permit, and Mr. Corker didn’t have one,” says Border Patrol spokesman Vincent DeHart. “We caught and repatriated Mr. Corker back to Tennessee under our ‘catch and release politicians’ program.”
DeHart says the filming of political ads along the border is a growing problem and it’s stretching the enforcement ability of the Border Patrol.
“So far, we’ve caught one from Illinois, Corker from Tennessee, two from Maine, three from Colorado, and, I think, nine from California,” the spokesman says. “We catch and release them, and the next thing you know they’re back here filming again. It gets old, sending the same politicians back time after time.”

I thought the tape that appeared of bin laden in the days before the final news cycle and where voteres were solidifying their positions was a fake, doctored, or otherwise manipulated to make fear the guiding force of our voting rather than our hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

When the "internet", E-mail, and the concept of a global community where people from all walks of life could gain access to information, the poor, marginalized, institutionalized, and otherwise forgotten are still in a carbon paper time warp.

Wouldnt they have used them against the American troops entering the country in 2003??? I mean seriously people, why would Iraq hide the weapons, if they hate our way of life and want to kill all Americans? Wouldnt the Iraqi "terrorists" use them against the American soldiers??
