NO! I don't think the Americans are to blame at all. I saw all the problems you guys had at election time, I wouldn't be surprised if they were rigged.
Everybody needs a leader to believe in, and if you're deceived into putting your trust into someone who is untrustworthy ( to say the least) it is their fault for tricking you...not yours. But if you continue to support that person and their beliefs, especially when you see the harm they are doing then you become responsible... all you can do is try to right the wrong....

I criticize both openly. Most Americans are bloody morons. And this is coming from a "good ol' southern boy". We are so caught up in our power and hunger for world domination that we forget about the concepts of peace and love. Since when does bombing the ever loving crap out of a country constitute the right thing to do. I agree that all the blame shouldn't be put on one man. But lets be honest here he is dumber than a box of rocks and has a personal bias regarding brown people of any sort. But just look at his dad, he tried to pull the same crap and Americans loved him. The reason people don't like Bush is because Americans love the idea of freedom, Bush has a jolly old time doing whatever he pleases, even if it goes completely against what Americans want. But we don't KNOW WHAT WE WANT thats what makes us fools and idiots too. We are so caught up in our daily lives we don't have any time to look at the big picture. We don't see whats going on around us like the rest of the world because we are caught up in all the monotony of money and power.
So yeah I am criticizing Bush, but the Americans who support him are just as ignorant.

No, the supreme court put Bush in the white house the first time and the Americans who voted for him (certainly not a majority worthy of a mandate) put him in the second time.
Most people realize the difference between what one person does and what the people of a country believe.
I think most non-Americans know more about our political system than we Americans do. They know what's going on and they also know that the tides will change (for better or worse) early in 2009.

I can't really talk for others, but i'm pretty sure just Bush. An entire country cannot be blamed for one (idiot's) actions.
And when you say the American's gave him the power.. who really knows if he actually had the more votes.. hMmmM

Im an Aussie.....I think that George Bush and John Howard.....(you arrogant yanks prob dont even know who John Howard is cause you are so self centred a think you are the be all and the end all of the world) are great leaders. Put yourself in there shoes and ask yourself if you could make the hard decisions they have had to.

Hey, no politician shows his "jerk side" until AFTER the election. Bush has only himself to blame for his lousy PR. Trouble is ... he's embarrassing the Americans as he bumbles along on his path.
Take heart Americans! We're bros and sisseses! LOL

I think most people who are ant-bush are also anti-american; the US elected him, then re-elected him. He is the worst american president EVER, you're seeing the decline and fall of the american empire driven by bush

well yes they are critizing Bush not Americans but in voiting for him it was more or less the worse of two evils. Not like Americans have had anyone good to choose from in the past 20 years or so.

when people criticize Bush, it is meant for him alone...we can not generalize a statement that becuase Bush is accused to have done so means all americans does it also...that would be totally unfair...
