Six String, You said, "If majority of citizens think he is alright, I have to accept him. That's how democracy works, isn't it?" Democracry might work that way, but so does the sheepish attitude. You can accept Bush as your president now, as if you have any other option, but you don't have to be fine with it and you don't have to agree with it. Yes, saying that "Americans are dumb people,' might be a generalization, but in a majority, they are. They lack even the slightest common sense, and their ignorance about the world around them is incomprehensible given that they have the best technology and media (TV, Radio, Internet). To Megalomaniac: You said, "Majority of americans like war, rule and power, but they also like success. The kind of war that they love is the war with some motive behind it." Seriously? What was the motive behind Iraq war? Any true one that you know that I am not aware of? And Pisces rightly pointed out that there hasn't been anykind of attack or war in America, besided the terrorist attack of 9/11. Americans don't know the price of war. The only wars they were involved in were held outside of their country. You seem to have been brainwashed by the American media about war. War is not where you just see the tanks marching around the town, fighter jets flying in the sky, it also where you see the agony of people, bodies lying in blood, and that's the true image of war. If you have any european or middle eastern friends, which I doubt, ask them what war is all about. It might send shivers down your spine if you can understand. You also said, "They voted for what they have believed without threatening those people who believed against them." Bush is a threat to the entire world, let alone the Iraqis. It is because of him that 12 nepalis got beheaded in Iraq. Iraqis are just defending their nation. US are the attackers. "American people have always believed in god and religion." And they do that blindly. They could at least use their so called "brain" to filter out what is right, practical, and makes sense, while they are being brainwashed in their church wih their god knows how many times altered Bible. And how do you think the religious extremist, fundamentalists are born or made? Americans voted in the basis of "morals and values." Come on, what morals can you really have if you are a warmonger? My friend, I am from south and I have seen plenty of so called people with morals and values who get drunk on fridays and saturdays, get involved in orgy, and then go to church the next morning, and still have the audacity to tell other who don't believe in religion that they are bad people, surely entitled to hell. I have known them all. If I remember clearly, I think it was Gandhi who said, "If it was not for christians, I would be a christian." And I can see why he said that.
