I've made this comment in other threads but I'm tired of all this Anti-Bush/US babble. I think W. is an idiot, but most politicians are. As far as the US bashing goes the US didn't ask to be the worlds police. Europe did back in the 30's. But we stayed out of it till 1941. Yes the US dropped the bomb on Japan. The Soviets,the Germans and even the Japanese were working on the same technology. After WWII the US stayed to help rebuild both Europe and Japan. When that was done most of Europe was worried about the Soviets. So again the Us stayed to help our allies. Most of the Anti-US rhetoric isn't even about the US government, it's about US big business taking over everything. I'm proud to be an American. Yes we have problems but there is nowhere else I'd rather be. :2 cents:
