I can honestly say I was `NOT` in the crowd that voted for this idiot either time. No, did not vote for a democrat either. To all the republicans and democrats out: Is this the best your political parties can bring? Seriously! I believe it's time for America to move to a parliamentary system which more reflects the people than special interest groups.

I doubt he could do much even if he got into power. I doubt the people one can't vote for would any real change. Do you really think Bush makes decisions?

You can't basically wreck a country and then just weasel out - unless you want the wrong guys to get into power. Now, don't get me wrong, I was always against the war and the US should leave the country as soon as possible. But not any sooner. They must make sure that a reasonable government has control over the country. And by reasonable I don't mean a government that is controlled by the US or holds the same views. I mean a government that doesn't start wars, that doesn't encourage extreme ideologies and that doesn't torture or kill people. So basically it shouldn't be too similar to the current US administration ;-) European too:

As a educated, peace loving person I find it nearly impossible to justify war. I have no idea what goes through these people's minds. I cannot beleive they are in power. Sadly I do not think there is much one can do about it. In the UK there was massive anti-war feelings before and during the invasion of Iraq but our leaders refused to listen to the people of the UK. They really are a bunch of losers. 70 Billion on war - it just goes on and on. As a educated, peace loving person I find it nearly impossible to justify war.
