| Thank you vitalsigns. Although I doubt I'd like ruling the world as much as it sounds, because, well it's a veeeeeeeeeery big place. Way to big for one person to be able to govern it, it's too big for a single government. And too diverce. Too many different nations with their own little fights and wars, and their own, particular, economical interests. That's why, while many have tried (Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, etc.) no tyrant has ever managed to take over the world. And I doubt it will ever happen. |

Too many contries in the world have already succumbed to socialist/communist ideology not to believe that one world government is possible. Although... I do not know how the monotheistic countries fit this ideology. Unless one or the other passes away you won't be able to rule it.
Other than that MORE POWER TO YOU!  |

It's too bad intelligent comment has eluded you, thus far. |

Not even the American president, Sir Bombs-alot. Frankly if the choices you provided are the only options available, I would have to pick you as well, as your death toll would be considerably lower than all the other choices. |

| I asked how would Putin handle Iraq had he been the leader of the US specifically in reference in his handling of Chechnya...which by the way I side with Russia. Chechnya has produced some very bad people who have wrecked that region. Mind you so many of the insurgents going into Afghanistan and since the Soviet times have been from Chechnya. Beslan was a terrible attrocity and some times we have to fight fire with fire. There are a lot of things I respect Putin on...I think he is a better leader than our current President. But too he has far more power than our's does. And even his tactics of having people killed...I'd like to find out more...Only time will tell. And too I agree that no nation should sell off control of thier National Resources. And let's face it...Nations are big businesses which everything should be done to benefit the National Interest. Like Iran...certainly if I was in Iran...I'd be wanting a nuclear weapon and of course nuclear power...but as an American there is no way in hell that I would support them having a nuclear bomb. |

The truth is the world consists mostly of cowards and Bush is not one of them. Reagan was not either. Reagan kicked the iranian navy's behind back then. Bush is and has been doing the right thing. Period and of story. But who will agree with this? Cowards will keep opposing it.

And we should ignore that chicken clucking in the north of the glorious US. It's nothing but chicken clucking with a bit of à la provencale.

You're right. He's not afraid to let people know he's a twit. Honestly, his heart's in the right place. But his brain isn't.

Funny how Bush's mistakes can rub off on people 
I guess it was right for him to Waste his time taking more vacations to other countries than paying attention to our own? Oh yeah, lets not forget how he showed up in Vietnam wearing soldier's fatigues. I don't know where in his head he believes he's a soldier, but he needs to give it a rest. Showing up there dressed like that just SCREAMS out "We still hate you". Or are you talking about his knock up job he did to take care of Katrina? If not it MUST be how he's been cutting out Veteran's funds when he thinks the money would be better to fuel a war for more fuel. It just gives off a feeling of "If you can't fight for me, i don't care about you".
Really, you got people who are missing parts of their body and gave their blood and tears in past wars that had much more meaning thant his one and he does this? I'm sorry, but that's just cold and uncaring. That's like kicking your grandpa and saying i hate you after he just gave you birthday money.
Bush has spent countless money and lives on this war and what did we get out of it? Maybe a little bit more protection? Or the paranoia of the fact that this country of the brave is afraid to have HAIR GEL on their planes now? We got Saddam. He's dead now. Mission accomplished. We helped clean up Iraq and as of late we have over stayed our welcome.
The world powers are doing more than enough to control the problem right now. They are cutting off anything that could be used to make nukes from Iran.
In my opinion we've done our job for now. If they attack again, then go back. But our troops are tired. They have done what they went there for and i'm sure most of all they miss their loved ones. And Bush wants to send much more over. I ask one thing though.
To do what? What could he hope to take care of? His ideals are endless. He wants a war on terror. One thing you forgot Mr. Bush. Terrorism will always exist as long as hate and sin exists in the minds and hearts of people. This farce of a war will never end. And it doesn't matter what country Terrorism comes from. It's not only in Iraq and Iran, which is the only few places he's shown attention in.
We can't keep going on forever. We have to enjoy our peace for now. Wait for the next war to start again. Trying to stay in a country and perpetually watch over them won't get a thing done. It's just time to take a breather for now.

| Quote: | Military Career of our Commander in Chief
Bush's DWI revelation at the end of the 2000 Presidential campaign may have been leaked to cover a much bigger scandal
On November 2, 2000, four days before the most disputed election in American history, military veterans in the US Senate lashed out at candidate George W Bush for his failure to explain a six-month lapse in his National Guard service. "At the least, I would have been court-martialed. At the least, I would have been placed in prison," Senator Daniel Inouye said.
Bush would offer no explanation for his absence and, as he had throughout the campaign, refused to discuss his military service during the Vietnam War. Why would a man who was running for the office of Commander and Chief of the US Armed Forces refuse to discuss his service in the military? Why didn't the public and press take notice? Their attention that day was focused on something else. Our Commander in Chief
That same day, while senators were asking for an explanation of Bush's National Guard absence, the media and the public were watching another breaking Bush scandal: the sudden revelation of a 1976 drunk driving conviction that Bush had failed to mention during the campaign. As Bush spent the final days before the election explaining to America that he hid the arrest to protect his daughters, the National Guard absence was swept under the rug, not made into a campaign issue by Democrats.
Both Candidates avoided making Vietnam an issue during the Presidential race of 2000. Bush and Al Gore, who served in Vietnam as an Army journalist, had a sort of unwritten understanding that their military service during the Vietnam war would not be a subject of campaign debate. Both had been accused of using their fathers' influence to avoid combat in the war. Gore's father was a senator, Bush's father was a Congressman.
GW in the Texas National Guard The Washington Post reports that Bush joined the National Guard 12 days before his student deferment would have expired, and that in spite of his low score on the pilot's aptitude test (25, the lowest score allowed), and in spite of the waiting list that some kids spent years on, Bush was sworn in as an airman the day he applied. Indeed, so giddy was Bush's commander, Col. Walter B. "Buck" Staudt, that he later staged a special ceremony so he could have his picture taken giving Bush the oath, instead of the captain who actually had sworn Bush in. Bush spent two years learning to fly airplanes in his home state of Texas.
As the 2000 Presidential campaign moved along, angry veterans in Alabama claimed that George W Bush never performed any military service in that state, as stated on his campaign website. They offered a reward of $1000 (which rose to $3,500) to anyone who could prove that he had. No one came forth with any proof.
Eight days before the election, the Boston Globe reported discrepancies between the Bush campaign's statements regarding his military service and what records and documents showed. In 1972, the Globe reported, Bush moved from Houston to Mobile, Alabama to work on a Senate campaign. It was at this time, the Globe found, that he was suspended from flight duty for not taking his annual flight physical. Furthermore, the Globe could find no evidence that he ever performed any drills while in Alabama, or any more drills after returning to Houston. GW, not on Guard Duty
Bush refused to answer any questions concerning the charges. His official White House biography states, "He served as an F-102 pilot for the Texas Air National Guard before beginning his career in the oil and gas business in Midland in 1975..." but gives no further details about his military service. |
Oh yes, he is sooooooooo brave.

It's not countless. To date it has cost every man, woman and child in America, ( based on 320 million people) almost 1200 dollars apiece to screw up up in Iraq. Go here, and you can watch it climb http://zfacts.com/p/447.html

Talk about people clucking. \
These are the sort of people that Vitalsigns calls his heroes.

US of A has already lost 3000 men in Iraq for no reason at all. If they go to Iran, many more lives will be lost. Tell me is it worth it? I mean how many Americans died in Vietnam? And for what purpose? |
