Some people have the hope, the true situation would not be so
depressing.
Hope? Please. The conversations that I was talking about,
these people weren't talking about 'hope'...they were flat out trashing
the American people and government...and being very angry about
it...it was funny because they knew I was American and they seemed
to be trying to upset me...they were surprised that, for the most
part, I agreed with everything they said...i think some people forget
that no one is more angry at the American government than the American
people....did you happen to see or hear about the many marches and
protests against Bush after he was elected? I was in Europe after
Bush's second election and I didn't see or hear anything about
the protests of the American people. The media outlets there seemed
to be happy with portraying all US citizens as stupid idiots who were
sheep in the Bush flock....god, for the most part, the media there is
worse than it is here...and that is saying something...

except for romania, there are not so many countries in the world, who
follow the US at the moment.
Good news there....

I am not sure, how you calculate this. because in 2000 50mio people
voted for bush. which means 250mio citizens (including children and
non-voters) did not. 51mio voters voted actively against bush, 249 mio
citizens did not... (only 101mio people actively voted.)
for years later (due to his successful policy...), 62mio voted for bush.
marius.
Okay, my numbers are wrong...but you get my point, don't you?
So, say, 51 million people voted AGAINST BUSH in 2000...51 million
is nearly the total population of Italy, or France...My point is
that 51 million is a lot of people to ignorantly lump into the Fat,
American Cowboy Bush voter category.
peace
