Yea you could say it has nothing to do with us, but getting rid of this sick man was the best thing we could ever do. Your Kerry lover said many times before Bush ever entered office that we should do something about Iraq.

Sure, but "doing something" doesn't necessarily mean we should be doing what we are doing. Plus, not to say that I think the opinions of other countries should dominate our decisions, but I think it sends a message when many powerful countries, and trusted allies, disagreed with our actions. It's bad foreign policy. It may or may not shake out to be a bad decision but I don't think we'll know until Bush is significantly removed from office.

haha

Democrats and even some Republicans said the same thing about Reagan.

Your future kids will read about Bush in the history books as one of the President's who stepped up to the plate to fight terrorism and defend America's freedom.

Maybe. Depends who's writing it. He'll definitely be remembered for making the Dep. of Homeland Security and the War on Terror, whether they will be positive or negative, it's impossible to tell now.

Why the hell did it become our responsibility to act first to every crisis, unless it directly affects us, fuck em.

A big piece of this criticism comes from the White House’s statement that states that President Bush will not personally be flying out to disaster-struck countries and providing first hand aide that was seen during Florida’s hurricane crisis a few months ago.

***To this I respond and say: Florida is part of the United States of America. President Bush is the President of the United States of America. His first hand aide for his own country should not be compared to that which he gives to a foreign land. Of course he is going to take Air Force One to Florida! He cares for his country and that is his job. It seems that he American can never please everybody. People complain when we go forth on our nation building tactics and try to help the betterment of this world, but the second they need help they criticize us for our lack of immediate jump and enthusiasm to help in international relief from crisis. I am deeply sympathetic to those families who lost loved ones in the tragic natural disaster in Southeast Asia, and I send extended sympathy to those Americans who were hurt through the events. I am supportive of private donations made by Americans to help in the rebuilding of the disaster-struck part of the world; however, I see the necessity for the American government to be cautious in its aide endeavors-keeping in mind that we are at war and countries affected by the tsunami are known to house terrorists, who show hatred toward America and mankind.***

It amazes me how out of touch people are in regards to world opinion about the U.S.

The reason we were criticised in regards to the Tsunami was Iraq. When the lies about WMD's and a connection to 9/11 didn't pan out the Bush administration said we were there to "help the Iraqi people" in so many words. People then took a poke at Bush and the administration for this obvious BS when we were less than speedy in "helping people" with Tsunami relief.

Shit Face, there are other current events and causes for things other than 9/11 and the war in Iraq. Not all personal opinions and political viewpoints have to do with Bush, Iraq, and 9/11, or John Kerry (people still like to throw that asshole's name around) . I am with sexyconservative on this one, people are always going to criticize the United States and their policies, and some assholes, like yourself are going to relate it to Iraq or some other non related topic in order to justify to themselves or to others that their viewpoint is legitimate.
