Perpetual war for perpetual peace is perpetual bullshit.

It is now more then 3 years after September 11th, during this period of time just about every civil liberty that American's had has been taken away from them in exchange for a colour coded description of how fucking on edge they should be all of the time. The leader of al-Qaeda still hasn't been captured and we are led to believe that he is romping around in mountains and caves somewhere. Terrorist attacks continue all through out the world, also resulting in the first time in history that terrorism can actually change a governments foreign policy. (Spain in particular)
The war in Iraq is getting more violent, and increasingly out of American control, while the bodycount of American soldiers is getting closer to 1500, and the # of iraqi civilians killed is somewhere in the estimate of 13,000. The notion that Iraq had weapons of mass distruction has turned into this, and as for ties to al-Qaeda... that has been quietly ignored. The people of Afganistan are almost completely forgotten about, as the country falls back into the hands of warlords and religious extremists. I could carry on about prisoner abuses in Iraq and at Camp X-Ray, the Republicans failure to renew the anti-assault weapon bill, the massive American deficit, the rising unemployment, and a thousand other things, but I am going to try and keep this short.
The rest of the world realises how badly Bush needs to go but Americans still haven't quite figured it out, so if you know someone (especially if they are American) ask them on what grounds should people still trust this man for another 4 years? I am very curious to what kind of idiotic responses you will receive. The person who emails me the most interesting, amusing, and/or persuasive argument will win a prize.

I will keep this updated with much more frequency now that I have an internet connection again.
