If you all stoped having that attitude maybe those "wacko" countires wouldn't hate you so much. A little tolerence goes a long way. Instead of invading them, lend a helping hand and you will get the same results. Canada helps many failed and failing countries and the CN Tower is still intact. There is a reason everyone isn't out to get us. We don't have people like Bush in power. Our most heavy handed political leader wouldn't go to war because it would cost too much.but American needs to stop relying on these wacko foreign countrys for our oil. I am hoping long term this decision will help.
These countries aren't 'wacko', they're worse. Look at what is happening in Darfur, look at the situation of women in Saudi Arabia (in most arab countries, for that matter), look at Iraq's persecution of ethnic or religious minorities, Saddam gassing his own people, etc. These are countries ruled by bad, evil people (regimes), and they are best avoided... for business deals or otherwise. Of course, we don't need to invade them either... not unless they are a direct threat (contrast Afghanistan's Taliban with Iraq).Sabriel said:If you all stoped having that attitude maybe those "wacko" countires wouldn't hate you so much.

Sure, we should run right over to all those wacko countries that hate us
A good representative only stands for foreign interests in that those foreign interests benefit his own people
If Bush did run any companies into the ground and I truly believe that info is incorrect, at least he actually held down a job in a company.
That's why I said "about half ". Not half or more then half.Roberta said:Actually, more than half voted for Bush since he was re-elected.
Since I'm not certain when you are refering to I can only say that mudslinging and half-truths go both ways.Roberta said:Also, I don't think what you called "gentler half" is really that way, since they had to make up things to try to discredit Bush.
Roberta said:I am sure the conservatives in this country wouldn't mind at all if the liberals moved somewhere else.
That's true most of the time, yes, but sadly many representatives have other things on their mind that interfere with good judgement.Sabriel said:A good representative knows that his people will benifit when everybody can coexist peacefully. He also represents those people to the rest of the world. If he comes off as rude and hateful then the world will see his people as rude and hateful. If he steps on thier toes without a care they will certainly step
