"Bush Sucks!, but the democrats are beholding to the same special interests and are no better". It's time for some independent thinkers to run the USA. Only two Senators voted against the illegal invasion of Iraq. One of them is now deceased (DEAD), unfortunately. The USA has much to be ashamed of in the wake of the hypocrisy of "freedom", "liberty", "due process" and crimes such as imposed torture on the supposed enemy. The fact that scandals at Guant?namo Bay occurred wreaks of hypocrisy. That is one reason why more and more people hate America, for people who are brave enough to ask and actually pursue the answer. Another reason is that when one's country is illegally occupied by another, especially under false pretense, that would drive many people to fight and be killed themselves. In fact I would die for the USA if someone illegally or even legally, for that matter, invaded. What makes it any different, because the US invaded Iraq, for an average Iraqi to wish to fight the US and die for his own country? Even if Iraqi's hated Sadaam Hussein, many Iraqi patriots as they should be called, are fighting the US troops and being called "terrorists" and "insurgents". That is perhaps a bit of hypocrisy. Perhaps these patriots should be more respected since in the USA, for instance, it is nobel to fight and even more nobel to die for the good old US of A. The people in the USA have become disengaged and it is time for people to stand up and say the truth and put the lies in the light. War is not winning the peace right now. Islam is NOT the enemy. This War is actually a war on freedom and liberty not only in Iraq and Afghanistan, but right here in the USA with fascist tools such as The Patriot Act and illegal eavesdropping. In decades past, it was the McCarthy era and McCarthyism., today it is the BushCroft era and Neo Fascism.... a reference to the former fascist tool of the Bush administration John Ashcroft Funk the Bushit!
