The World Agrees: Stop Him
http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20070124/cm_uc_crrscx/op_17369

Stop him before he kills again. That is the judgment of the American people, and indeed of the entire world, as to the performance of our president, and no State of the Union Address can erase that dismal verdict.

President Bush has accomplished what Osama bin Laden only dreamed of by disgracing the model of American democracy in the eyes of the world. According to an exhaustive BBC poll, nearly three-quarters of those polled in 25 countries oppose the Bush policy on Iraq, and more than two-thirds believe the U.S. presence in the Middle East destabilizes the region.

In other words, the almost universal support the United States enjoyed after the 9-11 terrorist attacks has been completely squandered, as a majority of the world's people now believe that our role in the entire world is negative.

"The thing that comes up repeatedly is not just anger about Iraq," said Steven Kull, the director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, which helped conduct the global poll. "The common theme is hypocrisy. The reaction tends to be: 'You were a champion of a certain set of rules. Now you are breaking your own rules, so you are being hypocritical.'"

More depressing, that judgment is shared by those who know us best: our allies in Britain, the only country still willing to share our sacrifices in Bush's once ballyhooed "Coalition of the Willing." Despite British Prime Minister Tony Blair's dogged support of his American chum, fully 81 percent of Britons told the BBC they are opposed to U.S. actions in Iraq, while a scant 14 percent still believe the United States is a stabilizing force in the Mideast.

7. Well, everyone who died in Iraq for a lie, and everyone in Afghanistan after he pulled troops...
...from the pursuit of bin Laden to go kill and die in that lie, and pretty much all of Africa, for negligence and taking condoms or funding out of AIDS education if not direct military action there, and you know too well all the Gulf Coast lives he's responsible for destroying...what's that come to?

8. I heard Laura's joined a Christian swingers group and Barney shits under his desk.
I'm not sure how reliable the sources are, though.

6. He is killing again and again and again....as long as Bush remains
...in office hundreds of Americans and thousands of Iraqis and countless other human beings will go on dying because of Bush's and Cheney's senseless neocon power-driven wars!

Both Bush and Cheney need to be stopped cold by the impeachment and prosecution powers of the United States Congress. These men, their supporters and other like-minded backers are renegades totally out of control. What better reason to impeach these people? It might even stimulate the Brits to do the same thing with Tony Blair although their system operates differently, but the neocon cockroaches have made their way over to the UK via the Henry Jackson Society. That nest should be exterminated also before it spreads and infests the U.K. with this neocon fascistic insanity

9. So who more than bushco has created more hate against America?
Yeah, you already know the answer to that. So what message do you want the world to hear from WE THE PEOPLE? Do you want them to believe that we choose to give bushco a pass here? Why didn't we give saddam a pass for committing pretty much THE SAME CRIMES? Are we hypocrites? What message would you send those individuals over in Iraq who have less resources now then they did before this last invasion by bushco? Would you tell them that we gave our president and his cronies a pass for their crimes? Good God do you really want to be labeled complicit for those crimes?

Do you trust bushco to protect you over the next 2 years from the future 9-11s after giving them that pass? BUSHCO MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWER! The maniacs must be brought before a world court for THEIR CRIMES before they become OUR CRIMES! Flame me all day long you anti-impeachers, I DON'T COUNT! You will never convince me otherwise and by God your overly sophisticated blatherings will provide not one bit of comfort to those being recruited in jihad against us! They are the ones you need to convince NOT me, WAKE THE F**K UP! The world REALLY IS watching to see what WE THE PEOPLE will do.
