^ drugs aren't even the issue.
what i'm saying is that what the bush administration has done is wrong.
1- the invasion of iraq was based on evidence that the administration deliberately mislead the american public about. bush and cheney's motivation behind the whole war are dubious and questionable. it is reasonable to believe that the vested interest these men had weighed heavily in their decision to incur into iraq.
2- the treatment of suspected terrorist suspects is appaling. the laws that were enacted to deal with them are unconstitutional and violate the rights of american citizens. sure you can interrogate them and detain them. but you can't deport them to an island somewhere, not allow them any form of communication to the outside world and leave them and their families and their countries in limbo. this happens to non-us and us citizens.
3- the american economy is sputtering. questionable tax policies and stretching military expenditures have stressed the bush budjet. again, who benefits from the tax cuts and who benefits from the military money. halliburton in both counts, uncontested in awardings of military contracts for the second. can this evidence of political misconduct again overlooked?
4- i'm not telling you how to run your country. i'm sorry if i came across as such. i spend my summers in the states actually and i kinda like some parts. nice people, fun towns, and nice scenery. dickheads are everywhere, canada too. i'm not even saying our canuck system is better even. our government is just as corrupt and frankly maybe this rant should be directed and the vilification of poilitics in general across the world. absolute power corrupts absolutely. i admire the american constitution and much of what it stands for. i think your nation was founded on noble intentions, it's just some of the caretakers of the country have been inept.
i'm not attacking america, i am attacking Republican party and the people who head the organization.
what i'm saying is that bush has distorted the priorities of the american nation and he has acted extremely poorly as an embassador to your nation. his questionable motivations, controversial decisions, and equally controversial laws have reflect badly.
my real question is why do YOU think he is the man to support. why do you think his record is impeccable and his war in iraq is just and noble ? do you the influences of halliburton and the attainable oil were not relevant to the justification of invasion? do you want this man of questionable character to run the country.
why does everybody think i hate america and americans? i just hate a few in particular, bush, cheney, rice, and the rest of them cronies. i guess that 'you're either with US or you're with the terrorists' slogan might be displayed right here.
kerry ain't no prize either. i don't like him in particular, but i think he's genuinely intelligent (unlike bush) and that he is also the morally superior man. atleast he went into combat, what did bush actually do? i just think that he is the more deliberate thinker and that he would steer america OUT of the mess bush created rather than deeper in.
speaking of drugs:
'So your saying herion and cocaine should be sold at stores like they used to? Or are you refering to the fact that in certain parts of Canada marijuana is legal or de-criminalized?'
^ drugs aren't even the issue. and if i remember correctly, bush has had his adventures with a columbian product of fame anyways. my stances on drugs are irrelevant to this conversation really. i just happen to like weed. you missed the point entirely, somebody else brought it up and i was just replying to him
and one last thing:
the invasion to iraq was actually really bad idea i think. perhaps i give of a condensceding tone when i write and you all hate me for criticizing, but seriously, invading countries WILL generate more hatred and more attacks. it is that hatred that fuels more terrorist attacks. to win the war on terrorism, you not only have to contain the terrorist; you must also contain and soothe the hate. every consequence has a cause, i suggest you research the cause of the hatred for americans from middle east nations and try to deal with that. why do they hate america to the point of flying airplanes into it's buildings? find out about these things and address them. perhaps if america genuinely attempted to address these concerns hostilities would decrease.
