EITHER AMERICANS CHANGE GOVT - or the world will do it for us!
The following is an article from the right wing website "The Sierra Times" ......

EITHER AMERICANS CHANGE GOVT - or the world will do it for us!
Dorothy Anne Seese

The days of World War II, even Vietnam, seem a bit tame compared to the nearly universal hatred the world feels toward the USA. Country after country, even those whose roots we share back to colonial days, are letting America know they hate George W. Bush and his cabal of globalist warmongers and elite imperialists.

When Bush II decided to go to war against Iraq at the same time he was "pleading" with the United Nations to help, and they were asking for more time to establish a case against Saddam Hussein, he turned the tide of opinion of an entire planet against the United States. None of us alive today have ever seen such world-wide hatred of the US. That's because none has existed in our short history of two hundred and twenty-some years. The US has been the object of sympathy, sometimes disdain, disagreements, allied efforts against those whom the world agreed were suitable for removal by war.

But Bush's War, his defiance and arrogance, and that of his staff, have made all Americans the subject of the world's wrath, ire and disgust.

There is much more to this article, but be warned, there is some Democrat bashing thrown in so they can keep their right wing "street credibility". Junior remains the primary target though, and it's great to see this kind of criticism from someone other than us "traitorous commie liberals" :evilgrin:

3. That's just it - these guys are NOT moderate Republicans at all!
The Sierra Times generally caters to the Bob Dornan /Bob Barr wing of the Republican party and/or Libertarians, militia nuts, etc. They aren't moderate by any standards. That's what makes this article even more surprising.

4. good article. THIS is what Dean was addressing with his comment
that "we won't always have the strongest military". He was warning us that we better get right with the rest of the world lest it blow up in our faces at some point down the road when our empirical supremacy has inevitably faded.

And he's absolutely right, whether that makes the hegemonists in democratic clothing bristle or not.

7. Exactly! Dean tells it like it is.
And it's just too much for some to comprehend.

5. Excellent article!
And my only conservative friend loves her work. I also found this article (which also has several innacuracies) that shows true conservatives bitching about the same things Dems do!
