To the fine people of England:?

Question

An American wants to know what the UK thinks:
Bush has made many grave errors - there can be no doubt.
But given whats happened, does anyone believe it could have come out any better? Your opinion - If Al Gore had been in that chair on 9/11, how would things have been different for you and us?

Answer 1

well i think that bush has made mistakes...many of them...i dont think its right for him to drag other countries including the uk into his little war games...but then again blair (just like bush) has had a popularity nose dive since they went against the majority of those against war.

Answer 2

Hi i'm in ireland but British (Scotland) Will i do? You know Bush's erors were duplicated by Blair so really ... Bad things would have happened anyway.

As for would things be different if it had been for Al Gore, yes they may well have been but then ... Blair would have been there and done his own things anyway.

End result is that you and i are not Mr and Miss popular anywhere anymore because a vast majority of people view us as part and parcel of Bush and Blair's doing.

I sincerely hope that Blair et al will never ever be reelected into government and maybe you wish the same for Bush.

Sadly it is too late, will always be too late for those who suffered greatly, whether they are civilians, army personel or whatever.

You ask how things would have been different for you and i if Gore had been there and assuming Blair hadn't won ... Well really someone came out with threats of WMDs and that's what caused our two countries to go to Iraq, and did they find these WMDs? I don't think so because if they had ... We'd have heard all about it.

When i think of the money spent by both our governments on this war (Still speding now) and all the good it would have done to help relieve famine, finance research to find cures for killer disease etc. It doesn't make sense to me.

Having said that ... I am me! I have never lived in iraq so don't really know how i would haliked to live under Saddam. Maybe i would have hated it and actively prayed that the USA and Britain came to my rescue. I guess i'm just anti war really.

Answer 3

I'm from the UK, Hi.

We generally don't pass him off as the brightest guy around.

But personally I don't think him to be the devil some of your mad Christian comrades think him to be.

He went through a very tough time in the childhood of his presidency, which i think was a period for him like that of a childhood of a little baby...

and his is truly traumatized since.

Like the condition itself, it comes with many strings. Being traumatized can mean mean succumbing to paranoia and other undesirable traits that are even more undesirable in a leader.

Al Gore has Jewish blood, and as a Jew, I and my nation would never let one of us to be leader of such a country, where there are significant proportions of citizens who could invoke an blood-curdling outcry should he make any common mistakes all leaders make.

So i think Bush should serve out his term...

and Gore should hoist the sales on his truly great voyage of environmental friendly thingy-whatever-bitnbobs...

Answer 4

A real American here. I just had to but in and say I thank God that Gore wasn't in charge.
Bush may not be the best, but he isn't the worst we could have had.
