The USA might be the world Super Power, and we might be able to push people around with our armed forces, but eventually it will be too much for our own good. By the armed forces acting in this way, many people have to live looked at as the bad guys. This one troop may not represent the Army but in some odd twisted way they do represent America.
Our secretary of defense is nearly being forced to resign before his last year is through. He won't be serving another four years unless President Bush wins the election (doubtful) and even then, his only way to stay in the cabinet is if President Bush fights for it. If the opposing presidential candidate wins then that party is already imposing plans on getting rid of Donald Rumsfeld (sp?).
He's screwed.

Let's see here.
Nikki, first of all, I would like to call you for being hypocritical, not 1-2 months ago you were a Busch loving Republican, flying taped to the right wing. All of a sudden it changes, what a surprise.
We stopped a government that was executing thousands of people a year, abusing tens of thousands and terrorizing hundreds of thousands. Now our armed forces has ONE bad egg in it and you are against the hundreds of thousands of problems we stopped? Sit back and think about it, do you really expect our armed forces to have all 100% satisfying warriors? No. With so many people in the military, there are bound to be arses who abuse prisinors. Our country has correctly handled the situation by not only revoking his power but is taking the steps to punish him correctly.
The USA is a world super power, and we do push people around, and it will come back to us - but it is all to protect you, me and our country. We were looked at as bad guys long before this, try 1800's. No matter what we do, a country somewhere is going to be generally displeased and despise our country including our citizens. Every person standing in America represents us, not just our armed forces, does that mean that you should'nt curse people or get in trouble in school... or so on?
Donald's recent problems have only occured due to political games from the democrats (and republicans alike) to make the opposing party look bad in the public eye. The difference is, the democrats use the press to mislead while the republicans state true facts to represent themselves. The democrats have no real fight against the republicans because the republicans are running a fair, smart, unbiased country. The only way Busch will lose the election is to unwealthy minorities who use democrats to give more money to unemployment and welfare to completely support them, as where the republicans just give them enough to get on their feet and get a job, as it should be, but the low-lifes like to use it to their advantage. There is nothing wrong with using these tools our government gives you, to help you, but to let it support you is wrong, thats taking away from our country and blowing tax payer's dollars. Ever watch BET? Ever see one of the political jokes about how good Bill Clinton was?
They idolize him for 3 reasons... if you listen, all of most of these are always stated in the joke:
1. He had sex in the white house.
2. He smoked marijuana.
3. He used the money from US oil reserves that our country saved for hundreds of years, to keep us okay in time of need, to give money to support welfare and unemployment beyond where it needed to be.
So, if you think about it, he was really a great role model, eh? He made the US Citizens see an immediate benefit money wise, but in the long run we had no oil, leaving us dependant on outsourcing and then left Busch a country that was 20 billion dollars in debt, so Busch had to cut all of these benefits from the people, making him look bad. So, who is the bad guy here?
Most democrats rely completely on television news instead of reading in-depth reports that are unbiased and to the point. Which is why the democrats feed off of television broadcasted news, because they rely around money and the democrats know that a HUGE majority of Americans rely on the 7 or 11 o'clock news. How many Americans have the time to sit down and read long stories? Very few. They have 30 minutes a day, if that.
Finally, as for the democrat running (Kerry), my moms boss knows his wife personally (Kerry's wife is of the Heinz family.. you know, Heinz Ketchup and my moms boss formely owned Nabisco) and even she totally disagreed with him being eligable for president. She dislikes him with a passion... here is why...
1. He lied about his 'war stories.'
2. Just 1 year ago when he was an on position polotician, he voted against 7 of the things he is promising to do in office, make you wonder?
3. He lied about his medical status coming out of the war.
So, I hope I have enlightened you slightly.
