Most of things could be said about other country's as well .You seem to think that France and the UK have not had problems,attacks and bad government officials in power As well as many other countries around the world.
I think its very "in " right now to place all the problems of the world at Americas doorstep. But its pretty crowded on our doorstep, because of all the people from other country's trying to get into this "hated" country. They are seeking freedom and opportunity here that they cant find in other country's. They don't seem to hate us all that much after all .....Or so it seems

Carter didn't know how to deal with Iran, Regan got the hostages home but 1983 He did nothing to Hezbollah's guerrillas for blowing up the compound that killed over 200 American Marines! Clinton did nothing when the first attempt was made on the twin towers in the early nineties and the USS Cole! The first Bush is the only one who done things right went into Kuwait with a battle plan! Got the job done! George W Bush went into Iraq with botched CIA information and done exactly what LBJ did mid sixties. With North Korea firing real missiles and Iran developing nuclear weapons I will be force to vote Republican next election because Democrats like in times past will not take military action when needed and this time the whole world is in danger! The best economy in the world will do no one any good when Iran or North Korea starts using Nuclear weapons!

Every president has conflicts they have to deal with. It's just that Bush (and Reagan), has shown their inability to deal with wars.

If you want an explanation use google, there are lots of news articles out there for you to read.

And no, having a Democrat in office 2008 won't put an end to the friction. Iraq is sort of a, "You break it you bought it." We kinda broke it. The primary difference will be whether or not the president will continue using a, "Borrow and pay," system, or a, "Tax and pay."

And for the record: President Bush Seinor was the one who provoked Osama to hitting the WTC. Osama didn't want the Americans handling the Saudis. He believed that he could aid the Saudi's against the Iraqis. However, due to the fact that Saudi Arabia ignored Osama's request and had the Americans come on, Osama became very annoyed.

But Ronald Regan did start it- he started the strong economy that Clinton lived off of and drove into the ground and then handed back to a republican to fix...the resession were in- this is clintons beautiful work...yet they give all the credit to Bush because they dont understand that the economy each president serves during with is a direct relfection of the president before him. Now I know your wondering how economics has to do with military hostility- when taxes and unimployment are down and the economy is up, US citizens disregard anything else that the president does. Clinton lived off of Regans economy and therefor masked his military action. Bush is stuck with Clintons crap economy so he under much more scrutany for everything else he does.

America hasn't had so many losses and such a disastrous military excursion since Vietnam. Now in many many ways, statistically, Iraq has now outscored Vietnam.

America's foreign policy was always subject for world scrutiny except every President before Bush was quiet about it, they kept an air of subterfuge.

Bush is just a blatant, in-your-face, world bully President who has blasted away any doubt whatsoever of where the US stands. The man's an idiot.

Ronald Regan did start it though. Also, there have been bombings and terrorism going on forever.

Please take into consideration that when Clinton was in office, even though there were a few attacks, you didn't have 2 of the biggest buildings in the world collapse, a war in iraq killing 2500 american people and over 50,000 - 100,000 iraqis, and so forth. you didn't have clinton saying "unfortunetely, i do think there will be another terrorist attack" like bush said on larry king live. you didn't have america trying to take over the middle east either.

well you don't make it easy... I am sure that is your point... it is just that the Republicans seem to be unsympathetic to the plight of the poorer members of society... they don't seem to care about how they spend taxpayer money sending it directly to businesses they own... not to mention during the Reagan admin' they installed all of the supreme court judges that gave junebug (Pres. George Dubbaya Bush) the election.... It all began when the Rich northern republican party in an attempt to grab control of US economics... remember... the emancipation proclamation... drove a stake through the heart of the confederacy... weakening thier GNP by depriving them of the much needed slaves which were the core of thier industrial complex....

Well, the ones who were president during those times were hated also, but not as much as people hate Bush right now.....I am surprise they hate him because with a name like Bush, you would think he be more popular.....

You know that same question was asked by O'Rielly when he was kissing Bush's a_s_s in an interview....


ps: I suggest you watch The Daily Show with Jon Steward don't take it serious just laugh a little...

Your right, military action has occurred in so many administrations (republicans & democrats). As a republican and from the knowledge I had about Bush Junior I didn't think he was going to go down that route also.


P.S. It did all start with Reagan........Just Kidding (you cute thing you)

It is usually U.S. foreign policy, that America is hated for, not the actions of one "yes" man. President Bush is not the ruler of the U.S., only the head representative.
It matters not which of the two (very similar) parties are in "control"; those who rule do so in spite of the White House occupant, Cabinet, Congress, etc.
Republicans aren't the only war-mongers.
