I would like to know what this 'better' solution is. Its up to the government to decide? The government is a representation of the people, so in effect it is up to the people to decide. Please do tell me, what is the better solution. That is about the worst thing to think, no matter where you stand on the political scale- 'just let the government figure it out.'
This may be slightly off topic, but if for those of you that think Bush is a moron, take a look at Cretien. (Canadas PM in case you werent aware.) At least Bush has the interest of his country in mind. Now this may seem bad, to say, as this idealism might not neccasarily take into account what happens to other nations in his (the USs) quest for betterment. In the end the US has the power to make the rest of the world listen, and I for one am glad that the US is the country that is doing this (this is a whole new topic, however.) However, Cretien is more concerned with how the rest of the world feels about him, and Canada, and not how Canadians feel about Canada (eg Kyoto). This inturn has given Canada a reputation for being weak, and spineless. Now we might be a good country globally, but economically we keep getting weaker. When we open our mouths, we might have good things to say, that basically is more or less along the same idealogical path as the USs, but no one listens.
I for one am proud to be a Canadian but I would take Bush over Cretien anyday.
