Global Media Abhors US Response to 9-11...
'Newspapers across the world have strongly criticised the US response to September 11, accusing the Bush administration of bungling its "war on terror" and squandering global goodwill by invading Iraq.

On the fifth anniversary of Al-Qaeda's assault on New York and Washington, editorials united Monday in condemning the attacks and expressing revulsion for the Islamic extremists who carried out the atrocity.

While papers said many people were still grappling with the immensity of what happened on that day, nearly all agreed the world had since become a more dangerous and uncertain place.' http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0911-01.htm

1. I love my country, but realizing what it has become makes me
blush with embarrassment and shame. I am an American, and I'm the face of this country abroad. "I didn't vote for him" does not cut it.

3. I watched BBC interview Dan Rather earlier.
It was so refreshing to hear him speak out; talked about the "cut and run" meme so popular by Bushco and how powerful that phrase is (whether we realize it or not) to the psyche of Americans. He was great. They talked Blair and well, I don't have to say they aren't real happy with him. They also agreed the terror problem has blossomed and the world is more dangerous.

5. "The War On Terror"
The majority of the world's people now realize that Busholini and Darth Cheney are lying assholes. If there was a serious War on Terrorists, Iraq would not have been illegally invaded via blatant lies to Congress and the American people. The Busholini Regime would have "stayed the course" in Afghanistan with it's own Troops to eliminate al Q. as a threat instead of outsourcing this task to the Northern Alliance. The War On Terror is a sham perpetrated by the US Govt., the MIC and the Multi-Corps to dominate the ME. This is slowly becoming obvious to many Americans while it has been apparent to millions outside of America.
