While the people of the US chatter about their fears, they forcefeed themselves to the point of death. Is this the true side of America... that while others perish in their bombs, they perish in their own luxury?

In their new colony of Iraq people are afraid of car bombs. In America you are more likely to die of a car crash. In the poverty stricken worlds the US calls 'cockroach nations', people struggle to feed themselves. But in the greatest country of the world the people eat themselves to death.

Surely the greatest hipocrisy of our time. But it would never appear on your news channels. So you dare not think about it.

My friend Larry says that President Bush has made a lot of enemies for the US and alienated a lot of countries. My friend Moe says that Bush has not alienated any other countries except maybe France. I don't think either of them ever talks to anybody from another country so how would they know? If you are from another country, do you feel that you or your country has been alienated by Bush?

First we fight about slavery, then segregation, then gender, and now sexual orientation? Why can't people look at the phrase 'liberty and justice for all' and simply accept that 'all' means 'all.'

When they kidnap people and have them killed?

To my dismay, It sounds as if you people are defending them.

Do you think Americans would be capable of hacking civilian's heads off as a form of execution?

why did the liberal judge send 2 border patrol agents to prison for 11 and 12 years, for shooting and wounding a mexican drug smuggler? not to mention, at the time of the shooting, the guy was on US soil, which makes him an illegal immigrant. and even the 2 border agents were of latin descent, how does that make them feel if they get punished for doing their f*cking job?? the smuggler wasnt even killed, he was shot literally in the a**!
this is the same mentality that thinks the marines are war criminals. the judge should be put on trial herself.

He led the country into an illegal war with Iraq.
He has signed or will be signing legislation that takes away some of your rights given in the Constitution.
His management of the economy has been a disaster.Whan he took office,America had a trade surplus of 237 Billion dollars.You now have a trade deficit of 250 billion dollars.
Yet I see so many people in this forum think he is wonderful.
How many more things does he have to do to screw up your country before you get the message?

Below is a clip from Yahoo news. On a related note Israel and a host of others have refused to sign a bill outlawing chemical war agents. Is war between Israel and Iran inevitable and is that what Israel was so desperately hoping in the Lebenon war .

How involved is the US - I think very very

Ahmadinejad's comments came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's strongest words to date about Iranian threats. Olmert warned that Iran would have "a price to pay" if it does not back down from its nuclear ambitions - hinting broadly that Israel might be forced to take action.


Speaking to tens of thousands of supporters at a pro-Palestinian rally in the capital, Tehran, the Iranian leader addressed Israel's allies: "It is in your own interest to distance yourself from these criminals. . . . This is an ultimatum. Don't complain tomorrow."
