If our government tries to invade
another country, we may see other countries lining up against us similar to WWII in order to put the stoppers on. We will either have to stay out of any more countries or find many other armies against us. They just might see Bush as another Hitler. Just a thought.

3. Sure leaves us open to
invasion doesn't it? No money, no army, no national guard. We're in sad shape here.

2. Another 4 Years Of Dimwit
And Canada might have to invade us just to keep themselves safe.

I wouldn't mind.

5. Oh Canada. Land of universal health care and affordable drugs.
I could think of worse things than being a Canadian province.

4. Russia, China and maybe even the EU would be against us
Fortunately, I don't think Bush is powerful enought to get away with it anymore. I think he's going down. Kerry will invade less countries than Bush will.

6. There's a tripwire somewhere that is bound to set that in motion.
I think it's Iran. I think that is the line in the sand for Russia, and I think they would have much of the world with them.

7. They already see Bush as another Hitler
Edited on Wed Jun-02-04 10:03 PM by Eloriel
as do I. Germans -- and in fact Europeans in general -- tend to be especially sensitive to the similarities.

8. Yes, they might line up against us militarily, but they can close ranks
against us in others ways, too, such as economically. We are a big-time debtor nation these days. Shrub keeps borrowing just to keep his programs afloat.

Notice how Cheney went to the Chinese, hat in hand?
