Nobody's helping me
President Bush declared Monday to a nation weary of war that democracy in the Middle East is worth the high price to the United States. He also said Iraq's neighbors should be doing more to help. "We discussed that today, as to how to continue to rally not only the neighborhood and Iraq's neighbors to the cause of the new democracy, but how to help others who have made a pledge to honor their pledge," Bush said.


Even if it costs us OUR democracy? Isn't it a little stupid to cry about not having help AFTER you start the war. Now we are going to help others honor their pledge to spend money on our stupid war? How, pay it ourselves and pretend they gave it to us?

2. That's amusing in light of the Neocon belief
that a "free and democratic Iraq" will spell the doom of the regimes surrounding Iraq.

8. why won't johnny rally
It's funny but part of their message was a free Iraq would result in a dominoes effect on the surrounding area. Is it a surprise the other countries don't want to help out in that? We only threatened 2 of the neighbors with invasion in the last year. 1 with a nuclear strike. I mean why don't they help us?

4. It's because of the code words
"....the cause of the 'new democracy' " is Bush-speak for "fake democracy stage-managed by neo-con and/or fundywhackjob thugs just like dear old Florida."

7. What if they don't like the way we are running the war? If I pledge to
donate to the Red Cross and find out they are giving money out to thieves instead of people who need it don't I have a right to with hold my contribution? I think that's fair.
