Sand Trap

He (Bush) has some nerve to tell Israel it must stop 'occupying' Arab territories when he's got 150,000 troops in Iraq occupying their country for it's oil. I am fed up with the US Policy to dominate the world. The US is building permanent housing for US troops to stay in Iraq forever!
I think Bush AND Cheny oughta be impeached!

I just wish we had some way to keep this man at home and to stop his embarrassing blather and the self aggrandizing nonsense he constantly spouts even in the light of the total failure of everything he has tried to do. It is evident from the comments of the Israeli and Palistinian people and their leaders that they regard his presence as part of an ongoing farce and he himself as a clown. He has now reached the point where everything he says will point to success before the end of his term even though the world knows that after seven years of wars, bombing, terror, death and destruction at his hands it is highly unlikely anything positive towards peace can be accomplished. The only possible pact, a pact that will thanks to George W. Bush's acts inevitably come about, will be the agreement of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Pakistan to unite in common opposition to the Uniterd States. And all the Biblical Babble notwithstanding these Arab nations are today united in their goal of destroying Israel and even the intervention of God himself will not change that, however deplorable it may be, as they forge stronger political alliances.

The time of the Monarchy has past, the time of the Oligarcy has past, the time of the Military Dictatorship has passed, the time of Colonialism has past, the time of the Christian Religous state has past, the time of the Socialist state has passed, the time of Democracy has past and we are entering upon the time of the Islamic Republic. Iran is one, Iraq will be one shortly, Syria will become one, Pakistan will be one within a few years and the same for Malaysia and many African states. The United States had better look to a future in which the dominent political format will be the Islamic Republic. At this point we are arguably doing everything in our power to prevent the formation of these states, and by extension making them iminical to us. We would be far better served to seek some form of accomodation with them starting with Iran, and get off the self serving nonsense of "threat to the world' and spreading of Democracy with threats of war and branding of certain states as an "Axis of Terror." People and nations get testy about this meaningless rhetoric and it would be far more in our interests to seek to be at least acceptable to the coming world leaders rather than an enemy to be destroyed.

Actualiy, we really need an honest broker, who has no "profit in mind, an honest broker like the Peaple's Republic of China. I do really believe that such an approach is best for world peace. China has no interest, political nor commercial whatsoever, while the USA wants to control the middle East, the Europeans are obsessed with handing the Middle east to the USA who in turn wants to protect the interests of Isreal.

Having China as the mediator works like the 6 party talks and there as well China has proved herself as the honest broker. In the 21st cenruty the world has to veer away from Eu-USA cenrerism; it is result that counts. I nominate China as the honest broker !

This has to be the stupidest man on the planet. He is actually saying he will accomplish something by the time he leaves office? Gee, way to set high standards after 7 years. He calls for others to end their "occupation" whil announcing he will leave ours for whomever follows him.

An expert of war and bloodshed CAN NOT BE A PEACE MAKER .

Equating Bush with peace is an oxymoron. He is a murdering thug and should be on trial with Taylor at the Hague for crimes against humanity not jet setting around the world. Rice should go back to being a college dean or whatever it was she did before. Her constant "demends" are getting old.

How naive of G.W...He has no legacy to speak of and will probably go down as one of the worst presidents of both 20 and 21st centuries. Now that his pesidency is winding down Americans can see him for the pathetic figurehead he really was. Now that his string pullers have left the White House he's taken up Quixotic deeds to save his place in histry. Imagine the history books writing G.W. saves teh middle east when others have failed for thousands of years. It's a great idea: even if he fails he gets credit for trying. The problem si that we Americans and the rest of the world have seen his act once to many times. I am not going to chastise the president! We should look at this as a learning lesson. We can no longer accept one party as having the higher moral ground. Every candidate needs to be scrutinized for their humanity. Religion does not make you a moral person. It just makes you a person with a schedule: A place where you know Mr. Bush will be every Sunday. It's ugly how he treated Americans by not being truthful and forthright. Let's watch his presidency wind down and see him become the "Lost President". He will never have a say in American politics again. He will be apologizing to the nation for the rest of his life as did Richard Nixon.

First of all, I would like to say that I am a Bush supporter who realizes that he has made mistakes, as all of us have. I do think this trip he is on now is completely wrong. I know I will be labeled one of the religious fanatics, but my Bible tells me that that land belongs to Israel and there should be no division of it. That is my personal opinion and I hope I won't be made fun of or called unnecessary things for my belief. I am not trying to force anything on anybody.

I honestly believe that God should be put in everything, even public policy. Some of the first people that migrated here came for religious reasons. Our country was founded with God in mind. I am not trying to make you believe like I do, but I firmly believe that unless we put God back into our society, we will be in trouble. He put us here and He has a part in every decision that we make.

Bush will go down in the history books as one of the nations worst and most ineffective presidents, he is right up there with Grant, Harding and Carter. This is a total waste of time. Bush has NO collateral in foreign policy at all. He is a joke to the Israelies becuase they believe they own him and the face of the devil to the Muslim world. He didn't get this reputation from propoganda either ,he earned it. The so called "Islamic fascists" that Bush has been so worried about for the past 6 and 1 half years are not like the USSR. They don't want to negotiate.They are not trying to run a huge bloated totalitarian system. The USSR was more like the Mafia than a real government. If you put alot of pressure on its "bosses" they would make concessions if they thought it was their "best deal". There is no one to negotiate w/ like this in the Middle East. There are alot of legitimate complaints and grievances that the Arabs and palestinians have and since the British and US have such slavish devotion to Isreal they can't really offer anything to the Arab states. Isreal should never have been allowed to exist in the middle east . This was a profound error by the west , mostly Britian and the USA, who made enemies out of one fifth of the worlds population to appease a tiny minority. The Israelies will never be a true partner to the west, they are hyper- xenophobic and mistrusting of all none jews, they see the western powers as useful tools no more.They are like a pet cobra, no matter how kind and loving you are to him he will always bite you when you don't expect it . He cannot do anything else, becuase that is the cobras nature.

And somehow we're all supposed to go back to our 7th century lands (even if we haven't lived there since) and make the people who live there leave? That sounds kind of unworkable, but I guess if it's alright with the Jews it must be good enough for the rest of us? Personally, I loved visiting England, but I didn't ask the people who lived in our old town to move so I could have their house. Maybe I wasn't greedy enough? You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
