AMEN to that Faile! Since I could not have said it better right now I have little to add to that, but if this debate heats up my beliefs may require me to speak out. Thank you for saying what you said Faile... it really helps to hear other people who share similar opinions on such a subject. I lose sleep over what has happened to this country that I live in. I think that is something somebody in Mannifiron's position would find hard to understand. I fear the Bush administration, not only for wwhat it has done to my country, but what it is capable of doing in the future if re-elected. I have absolutely no trust in a man such as Bush and all of his cronies, who do not listen to the American people or, just as importantly, the rest of the world. How dare somebody be elected to such an influential office in this world and ignore the voices of the people; that being the very principle upon which the instituion was founded on. This is not democracy.

And, might I simply add that the purpose of the U.N. is to bring countries together, despite any differences, so that these countries may work together in crisis situations so that preventable happening such as world wars can be averted. It was created for this very reason. The best example of a nation who's government is alienating the U.N right now is that of the U.S. The U.N. as a collective was doing it's job to see that a situation such as the U.S. invading Iraq did not occur becuase it felt collectively this would result in a breeding ground for terror and violent repercussions for the world for decades to come...perhaps longer. For Bush to ignore this takes incredible arrogance that rivals saddam hussein and perhaps surpasses that of many terrorist out there. All he has succeeded in doing is making our country more hated and targeted than ever before, and as Faile said... the perfect breeding ground for such terror now exists right in Iraq.

No presiden in U.S. history has been more dangerous to the safety, standard of living, and freedom of the american people. I am voting for John Kerry in November.
