Gee, I guess we should strive to be like many of the South American countries and their leadership- i.e. Chavez. Bush is no saint but there is no need to state the obvious. The world hates the US because it's imperalistic, blah, blah. It's the same complaints. ZZZZZZZ- Boring. The world hates Bush- I've heard that one a million times.

Venezuelans spat on Nixon's car in 1958.

They loved Jack Kennedy because of Alianza para Progreso.

They wanted to kiss Clinton.

Now they hate Bush.

Conservatives think this is boring because they do not see the pattern. They cannot see the difference between a successful foreign policy of trade partnership and a failed one of colonial aggression.

Bush bragged he gave a billion in aid last year to South America. He spent a Billion last week in Iraq. New age Neocons with positive auras and prayers for Bush just don't understand the real world.
Give me an atheist with common sense every time.
