Bush Baiting Castro

Really! What do you call given the right to vote but your vote does not matter when it comes to deciding who becomes the next president of the US (seeing the US president is often elected by the votes of pressure groups and big business)? (Laughs) Caroliewrites, 1). Dictatorship is stomping into another's territory and killing them, destroying their properties, disabling their economy and telling the natives when you think they should or should not conduct their daily businesses! 2). Communism aka Leninism aka Centralized Socialism (Lenin's version of Marx's and Engel's version of British Democracy) is more of what the US government practices. Did you know that in the US one is penalized for being independent and having a mind to think for one's self? Did you know that one can almost go nowhere in the US, successwise, if one is not a crowd follower, a butt and/or shoe kisser? 3). As per war involvements, the US government goes nowhere where it has no monetary interest, and often gains support by lying to its people! Below is a good link to orient you with US interventions worldwide: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/US_Interventions_WBlumZ.html 4). Ha, 911/2001. Although I do not condone methods of revenge such as those of 911/2001 and I am still saddened by the innocent lives lost, let us not forget that before there was 911/2001, there was the Iran/Iraq war - where the US played both sides of the game; Libya; Grenada; Kosovo; Panama (and where, by the way, is president Noriega?); etc. I believe any Middle Eastern involvement in 911/2001 was simply in retaliation to what the US government and its allies have been doing to the Middle Easterners. On the other hand, however, I believe that the greater part of 911/2001 was engineered by the US government in preparation for what is currently going on in the Middle East - an attempt towards imperialism! What better way to kill two birds with one stone? What am I talking about? I am telling you that the only way all those gullible Arabs could have gotten access into those cockpits, would be if they were escorted by some high ranking and well recognized US officials! And the suspicious collapses of the Trade Towers only help to sustain my argument. Did you also know that teh World Trade Towers were reported collapsed, twenty minutes, before the building actually collapsed? See: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2007/260207building7.htm

I don't like to think of our government in such a light, Netsbridge, but you do make several valid points. I am anti-war and don't understand why we keep going into war after war.

Two quick points I'd like to make here; First, Castro has outlasted our presidents because the Cuban people are not given the privledge to vote. It's called a dictatorship, and COMMUNISM! Second, why do we go to war?, (and I for one do not believe for a second that most Americans want to go to war) Please take another peek at your history books; Pearl Harbor, Germany/Hitler/ and his buddies, and most recently the loss of over 3000 American Citizens to an attack on our homeland.... maybe you remember it? It was named for the date....911!!!

I blame that whole mess with the electoral votes in Florida being "lost" as the reason Bush won the second time around. Remember, his brother was the governor of that state at the time. Who knows, maybe that gave the Bush administration the time to tamper with the votes in other states? I wouldn't be surprised since his approval rating wasn't all that great back then either.

Castra, ruthless old SOB that he has, has managed to make a complete monkey out of the US of A. Here you have tinny little Cuba rubbing up against the World's strongest nation and how many President's has he outlasted. Why is it that whenever a US president tries to do something intelligent about CUba like lift the pointless embargo - Castro ends up making a monkey out of the President. Have no fear, the same pattern will repeat itself and before you know if Catro will still be there while W heads off into a retirement of his own making.

In 2008 it will be the end of him being a president. I am glad about that. I just hope and pray we get a good one next year.

Well, Shaun, don't start celebrating too soon. From what I am hearing, President Bush just might stick around longer that expected.

This president does have time on his hands. And he doesn't have enough time to change the two term rule. Since, FDR no president can serve more than 2 terms in a row. He could try to get elected after the next president, but I don't see him doing that.

A president should never have a lot of time on his hands, sarah, and Bush has done some unprecedented things during this latest term. It won't surprise me at all if he finds a way to stay in office after the elections.

I wish I knew the answer to that, anand, but I don't.

That sounds about right, latnvari, just more of the same.

"It is just too much!"

I'm with you, anniepa, but I have an uneasy feeling about the coming election and the things that will transpire around it. I hope my fears are unfounded.
