Okay, no offence to any American but I really think George Bush is doing a crappy job with terrorism. What I cannot understand is how can they possibly not find and kill Osama Bin Laden? Seriously, with all this technology and all, they still can't find one god damn man? Bullshit, I think Bush actually wants terrorism to live. In my opinion, he just wants to keep all this happening so people keep on battling with each other. The main problem is Muslims, religion in general actually.

I saw documentaries about 9/11 and I truly believe Bush knew this was going to happen. He's an arrogant ass if you ask me. He's messing up people's live. He tells Israel what to do, and they do it. He's manipulated everyone into thinking he's the good guy. Most of us here in Australia did not want Australia to get involved with the Iraq war but somehow Bush twisted John Howard's mind and made him send our troops. In other words, he may be a Muggle Lord Voldemort. He doesn't care who gets killed as long as he's in power.

All these wars around the world have no good reason. It's just a battle between Muslim and non-Muslim. We believe we are right and Muslims believe the same about themselves. But putting aside politics and all, we all really have the same beliefs and views. We all just want to get along and live happy. But as long as Bush and all these people are alive, peace will be just a dream.

Sorry, I'm just pissed off with all these wars and problems around the world...

I completely agree with mystifying_haze.

I LIVE in America, and I would most definitely like to send Bush to a beheading office or something.

Ever since he came into the office as president he's done nothing but ruin the world, other countries, and most definitely the country he's 'sworn' to protect--at all costs.

As far as him handling the terrorism thing, another crappy job at that. Hello! How do we even know that he didn't know it was happening at 9/11? I mean, come on, on the 9/11 thing, airplanes went off course, and according to all that bullshit about our security, any plane that goes off course, gets shot down---immediately. No questions, nothing.

And he keeps sticking his nose in other countries' business. Iraq, for instance. Every DAY I see something on the news or in the internet newspapers about some U.S. solider getting shot or killed by an Iraqi, but more than 10 Iraqis are killed to that one, and we're cryin' about it? What about the families over there? They're worse off than we are here in the U.S. and to tell you the truth, especially with Bush in office, I don't really blame other nations for hating our guts.

Eck. Sorry, I got carried away.

So, yeah. I definitely agree with mystifying_haze. He's most definitely a Muggle Lord Voldie, and probably the next Hitler.

Well I read both of your thoughts about it and hopefully I don't get eaten alive by you two and probably a lot of others by my comment here..

But I see things a little differently. I honestly don't think that Bush had known that 9/11 was coming. He lives in America too, I really can't imagine him or many others that would want that to happen to their own country. And I personally don't think that he could get away with all of that if he really knew it was happening. I mean that's a big thing to keep a secret, and if he had told like his close people in office or something, you know over news media. They definitely would have caught it, you can't get anything past those people, unless they're reporting the wrong thing.

And also, I have a lot of friends in Lebanon. They were exchange students here in America last summer, and although they're about to graduate high school [I don't know how old anyone here is sorry] they are really really educated. I mean, they obviously had to be to be in the program they were in, but my point is, they aren't like stupid normal high school kids. But they had to go through terrible security at the airport, they searched their bags and it really got to them, but those people, through all of the tough times they've had and are currently going through in Lebanon have nothing against the US and Bush. They don't think Bush is trying to sabotage the world and keep them in war, they think the Americans are trying to help them stop the violence in their country. If ARABIC people feel that way, don't you think Americans should at least back their president? Can you imagine what he's going through? Everytime I hear arguments like this, you have to wonder, if he read these, what would he think? And sorry if you disagree but I honestly don't think he would be worried you were catching onto his plan.

But I'm definitely not for war by any means, I mean all of my friends in Lebanon are in serious danger where they live because of it. But I think Bush is trying to do what he can to keep us out of it or end it.



Sorry if you disagree I wasn't trying to start anything, I know this is a really touchy subject, but that's just my view :]
