I got a kick out of some headlines from England regarding the election.

CNN spoke to a Diana Muriel from London.  She showed a few news paper headlines.

The Guardian: And now… four more years.  And they had a supplment with a huge black cover that said “Oh God”.  She did say that was a fairly liberal paper.

The Independent: Four More Years, with pictures of Guantanemo Bay, Iraq War, Abu Graib (sp?) Prison scandal and oil fields referring to the high price of oil right now.

Daily Mirror: How can 59,054,087 people be so dumb? with the words “No Brainer” next to a picture of George Bush.

So, it’s nice to know what other countries are thinking about us at this point.

Even the SUN which usually concentrates more on some cheap booby news had some funny anti bush rhetoric on display. Needless to say with the usual touch of sleaze like to most other things.

Lol .. but seriously it was always going to be a wrong bad mad reaction to bush winning the election.

From Canada..
OTTAWA—The re-election of a war-mongering president shows Americans are “out of step” with the rest of the world, says a Liberal MP infamous for her blistering attacks on U.S. President George W. Bush. Carolyn Parrish said yesterday she’s “dumfounded” by Bush’s victory.

“He has been reconfirmed as their commander-in-chief, and he is a war-like man.”

American voters showed that they are “completely out of step with most of the free world,” Parrish said.

“I guess it’s a reflection of the profound psychological damage of 9-11.”

Its a simple case of someone understanding the mindset of his people. Bush knows americans would approve his agenda of iraq war, and he certainly appealed very cleverly to his “christian” americans. Americans on the other hand could do without changing their president in the middle of iraq crisis.

As far as the Middle East goes, we have all known for decades that certain countries contain organized menaces and will have to be dealt with sooner or later by the rest of the civilized world. Unfortunately the longer we wait to deal with these problems, the bigger the stakes become. The WTC is a prime example.

We can’t afford a Jimmy Carter in the White House until the general safety of our planet can be “reasonably” secured. Diplomacy doesn’t work on fanatics bent on your destruction.

Really? Why do you believe these “organized menaces” have formed? Why are they bent on the destruction of the US?

It seems to me that this is exactly the seed planted by Bush for re-election. Not to mention to justify an unjustified war…

(Sorry, Low-Bat, it’s not a personal attack on you, just reflecting on a general point of view.)

I think he changed his stance on many things. In my opinion, he changed for political reasons and not because of new information. It was a work of art that he managed to paint Kerry as the waffler - Bush/Rove are the masters at this type of thing.

Here’s a CBS news article that examines his top 10 flip-flops:

Hi babahi, no offence taken, but thanks for the consideration.

To try to answer your questions is a little harder. I do know that in some parts of the world children are taught at a young age to hate Americans. This type of influence is similar to Nazi Germany teaching it’s young to hate people of Jewish decent. Anything instilled into an impressionable child is almost impossible to change later in life. I think teaching younger generations to blindly hate is a major factor.

There are many reasons to like and to hate the western world. Our influence is felt globally and brings about some level of change. Those places in the world that control their populations under the force of arms are threatened by the influence of western ideas. The will of the people to form their own government is in direct conflict with those that got into power by a means other than a free election.

That can’t be true. 85 is borderline retarded. I’d expect a real average IQ spread to be closer to +-5 or so.

Yeah…I was wondering about that..
Looks like the state of Mississippi is full of Forest gumps..
