They are several people I don't like.

Bush is not the problem, he is an elected president. The problem is the american frustration and what the Bush administration is doing with this frustration.

I don't think we Americans knew who we were electing in the first place. :\

there are many of us who would argue that Bush wasn't elected - he took control in the midst of scandal and confusion over our voting processes. it's fact that the majority of americans did not vote for him.

What I wonder is, would Gore have taken us into war?
Let's just trust in the fact that Bush won't be running a second term.

He was elected, and if the Florida count may be discussed, this is nothing comparable to a dictature where when you don't want a president you die.

And american new who he was... the son of GB.

Our current president changed drastically from when he first started out in office. As soon as 9/11 hit, he immediately wanted to go after the people that attacked us. Soldiers are still fighting there. Now he wants to attack Iraq, completely ignoring the fact that North Korea is the bigger problem, what with its nuclear weapons which we are sure they are in possession of, and it's going to cost thousands of American soldiers' lives if he doesn't act on this imminent threat.
The fact remains that this small "threat" in Iraq is completely blindsighting Bush of the fact that North Korea's strike is imminent. We are not even 100% sure that Iraq is hiding anything. While we're wasting time over there trying to look for weapons of mass destruction, they will be used on our forces in North Korea.
Some Commander-in-Chief we have.

EDIT- Fixed some spelling mistakes and added a few things.

Actually, the USA is currently the only imperialist nation in the world, and are the only ones threatening to attack other countries.

What advantages would North Korea get by nuking the USA? And what can North Korea's missiles that are able to reach approx. 180 km do against the USA's thousands of nuclear warhead capable of reaching any target in the world?

It's pretty predictable though, that Iraq isn't the last country to get bombed and invaded by the USA this year.

"I'm against bombing Iraq, we should rather slaughter some civilians in North Korea" -that's a new one.

There were at least 100,000 protesting in Melbourne, too. Its obvious that the free people of the world find the idea of war repulsive, and won't support it no matter how much the government tries to stir up our fear and resentment.

And Ricky, North Korea hasn't expressed an interest in attacking any other country in fifty years. The nuclear reactors that they have activated were built for them BY THE AMERICANS under Clinton, in order to help them overcome a national power shortage that is crippling their nation.
In fact, the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons is ... the United States! The nation with the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons is ... the United States! The biggest nation to have sponsored terrorist groups to overthrow foriegn governments in the last two decades is ... the United States! (Remember, they sponsored Saddam when he was just an Iraqi terrorist trying to overthrow the government) Most of the weapons and military hardward in the middle-east comes from ... the United States!

War is repulsive, and to go to war out of fear, ambition or hatred is a blight on humanity.
