bush's foolishness in iraq has made the Us hated as never before . personally , i think he really has no solutions besides 'stay the bloody course' , which will make the Us even more enemies and even more hated than before.

bush and company are so blinded by their own bs -- things will probably be getting much worse before they get better...

thanks for your comments--peace
