"this Country Was Founded To Prevent Anybody From

Notice how many people are responding now? The repub's thought they had it made. Happy to see the American people finally made some sense out of this war. The Repub's also bash Michael Moore check out his web site. He was right all along! While Bush and his administration of F**k ups sit there where their thumb up the ass pondering "what went wrong?"
Good for you, you are absolutely right!

The dems bash fox news and talk radio and the republicans bash all the other news stations. When they run for office they bash their opponent and you don't even hear what they would actually do in office. And it's not just in the United States either show me politics in any other country that isn't run by big bussiness. Politics make me sick, it's to bad we need it

Right on!

A victory! GET BUSH OUT!

It's either a Democrat piece of S**t or a republican piece of S**t I'll never understand that with all the intelligent people in this country we can't get one to run for president. John Kerry and George Bush... Really

It's universal. Should see the brain dead garbage we elect in Canada.

Bush loves his powerful friends who support out fuel. We can't hurt Bin Ladens family's feelings! God forbid? While he is saying after each military has a lost, "sorry about your loss and we cont to make our country safe" Bush S**ks ! Great comment on your side!

The one way that DOESN'T work is to invade a country and tell the people, "We are here to liberate you!" -- when they have done NOTHING to liberate themselves. Where were all the suicide bombers when Saddam was oppressing them? Where were the insurgents planting bombs along the roadside as the evildoer Saddam's convoy passed them by? I guess ol' Saddam was a cruel despot -- but not cruel enough for thousands to risk their necks. "Oh no, Mike, they couldn't do that! Saddam would have had them killed!" Really? You don't think King George had any of the colonial insurgents killed? You don't think Patrick Henry or Tom Paine were afraid? That didn't stop them. When tens of thousands aren't willing to shed their own blood to remove a dictator, that should be the first clue that they aren't going to be willing participants when you decide you're going to do the liberating for them.

A country can HELP another people overthrow a tyrant (that's what the French did for us in our revolution), but after you help them, you leave. Immediately. The French didn't stay and tell us how to set up our government. They didn't say, "we're not leaving because we want your natural resources." They left us to our own devices and it took us six years before we had an election. And then we had a bloody civil war. That's what happens, and history is full of these examples. The French didn't say, "Oh, we better stay in America, otherwise they're going to kill each other over that slavery issue!"

The only way a war of liberation has a chance of succeeding is if the oppressed people being liberated have their own citizens behind them -- and a group of Washingtons, Jeffersons, Franklins, Ghandis and Mandellas leading them. Where are these beacons of liberty in Iraq? This is a joke and it's been a joke since the beginning. Yes, the joke's been on us, but with 655,000 Iraqis now dead as a result of our invasion (source: Johns Hopkins University), I guess the cruel joke is on them. At least they've been liberated, permanently.

So I don't want to hear another word about sending more troops (wake up, America, John McCain is bonkers), or "redeploying" them, or waiting four months to begin the "phase-out." There is only one solution and it is this: Leave. Now. Start tonight. Get out of there as fast as we can. As much as people of good heart and conscience don't want to believe this, as much as it kills us to accept defeat, there is nothing we can do to undo the damage we have done. What's happened has happened. If you were to drive drunk down the road and you killed a child, there would be nothing you could do to bring that child back to life. If you invade and destroy a country, plunging it into a civil war, there isn't much you can do 'til the smoke settles and blood is mopped up. Then maybe you can atone for the atrocity you have committed and help the living come back to a better life. MORE TO FOLLOW!

The Soviet Union got out of Afghanistan in 36 weeks. They did so and suffered hardly any losses as they left. They realized the mistake they had made and removed their troops. A civil war ensued. The bad guys won. Later, we overthrew the bad guys and everybody lived happily ever after. See! It all works out in the end!

The responsibility to end this war now falls upon the Democrats. Congress controls the purse strings and the Constitution says only Congress can declare war. Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi now hold the power to put an end to this madness. Failure to do so will bring the wrath of the voters. We aren't kidding around, Democrats, and if you don't believe us, just go ahead and continue this war another month. We will fight you harder than we did the Republicans. The opening page of my website has a photo of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, each made up by a collage of photos of the American soldiers who have died in Bush's War. But it is now about to become the Bush/Democratic Party War unless swift action is taken.

This is what we demand:

1. Bring the troops home now. Not six months from now. NOW. Quit looking for a way to win. We can't win. We've lost. Sometimes you lose. This is one of those times. Be brave and admit it.

2. Apologize to our soldiers and make amends. Tell them we are sorry they were used to fight a war that had NOTHING to do with our national security. We must commit to taking care of them so that they suffer as little as possible. The mentally and physically maimed must get the best care and significant financial compensation. The families of the deceased deserve the biggest apology and they must be taken care of for the rest of their lives.

3. We must atone for the atrocity we have perpetuated on the people of Iraq. There are few evils worse than waging a war based on a lie, invading another country because you want what they have buried under the ground. Now many more will die. Their blood is on our hands, regardless for whom we voted. If you pay taxes, you have contributed to the three billion dollars a week now being spent to drive Iraq into the hellhole it's become. When the civil war is over, we will have to help rebuild Iraq. We can receive no redemption until we have atoned. MORE TO COME ON THIS!

In closing, there is one final thing I know. We Americans are better than what has been done in our name. A majority of us were upset and angry after 9/11 and we lost our minds. We didn't think straight and we never looked at a map. Because we are kept stupid through our pathetic education system and our lazy media, we knew nothing of history. We didn't know that WE were the ones funding and arming Saddam for many years, including those when he massacred the Kurds. He was our guy. We didn't know what a Sunni or a Shiite was, never even heard the words. Eighty percent of our young adults (according to National Geographic) were not able to find Iraq on the map. Our leaders played off our stupidity, manipulated us with lies, and scared us to death.

But at our core we are a good people. We may be slow learners, but that "Mission Accomplished" banner struck us as odd, and soon we began to ask some questions. Then we began to get smart. By this past November 7th, we got mad and tried to right our wrongs. The majority now know the truth. The majority now feel a deep sadness and guilt and a hope that somehow we can make make it all right again.

Unfortunately, we can't. So we will accept the consequences of our actions and do our best to be there should the Iraqi people ever dare to seek our help in the future. We ask for their forgiveness.

We demand the Democrats listen to us and get out of Iraq now.

Bush won the election with less than a majority in the general election. The majority of electoral college votes (which most people don't understand) shouldn't have gone to him. The Supreme Court handed him the Presidency. HANDED IT TO HIM.

9-11 pissed all of us off. Afghanistan was the place to go to get the perps. This we did.

But we never NEVER should have gone to Iraq for the reasons stated.

Americans enjoy being the best in a wide variety of areas. But very few of us feel pride because we have the ability to nuke the rest of the world back into the stone age.

We are proud of our country because we can disagree with the government and not be beaten with truncheons or jailed just because we speak our mind.

Don't stereotype Americans based on what you see in the White House.

Peace.

props to that comment... im arab ( dont know why i have to say that but lol ) i can say that is the first time i see an american say something like that justifying his point of view not by any shouts of USA USA USA ! but of direct and well thought arguments which defend the American ppl for what they really are... nice to see that i know there is a lot of Americans like that.. i just hope u guys will pop out

there are many more of us out there. and we came out on nov. 7th to show these assholes we won't take it anymore. peace ronniedobarca. and why can't barca win more games?? too bad about eto'o.

American people are not bad.. TRUE but the gov. is really bad here and like you said.. they don't beat you if you say something that they don't like... they kill you.. Rich people is in control of this country. Check the movie ''An inconvinient truth'' by Al Gore AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT EVIL MONEY AND POWER IS EVIL!!

it's all about the goddamn dollar, and the WHOLE system is corrupt because of it. i gaurantee!!!

nice words. I agree

Who do you Imagine Gave Bush his second term, DIPSHIT

The ones that followed Bush were fooled into thinking it was about 9/11. The Nov. elections were a sure sign that the American people are fed up with Bush and his false war. What pisses me off is that now that we got the Dems in power, thay arent going for impeachment. I say hand the bastard and make an example out of him to the world.

No one likes war! NO ONE!! Yes it is true that Saddam had violated around14-17 sanctions established by the United Nations. It had been going on for over 10 years. But the decision to go to Iraq was made at the wrong time. First America should have stayed the course in Afganistan and finish the so called war on terror there and with Ossama Bin Laden.
Then once that was done continue with the UN, to find and kill all other terrorist and Muslim Extremist organizations who pose a threat to the whole world!
Bad timing!

Bush finally passed public speaking 101? He now can pronounce illiterate! He has been having trouble with 102 speaking as we talk. His balls are being squeezed. Ouch!

He still says "newkuler."
