Re:Re:u.s president
I think you President is an idiot. I can't believe that he's elected a second time. I've many US friends and I know the USA have a lot of wise people, but over 50% voted for a stupid man, that only strategie is to keep his country in fear.
What has he done in his (6?) years as president? If you ask me, nothing but fear, hate and war.
Clinton put the owe of the United States to zero. Bush made the highest debts ever. Money that all of you have to pay for years.
No president/leader is perfect, but Bush is far away from that. You know Michael More? I know he is a populist (hope that word exist in english), but if only 50% what he writes is true, it's really sad...

Please don't get me wrong, I love the USA, I have a lot of US friends, I just think your nation needs a better leader.

Actually that's not true. Micheal More is a fool. I think Bush has made the right decisions thus far. War was eminent and Clinton did what he could to avoid it. No one wants war, but it's the democratic party in America that is misleading the public.

Moore is an iconoclast, but:
I don’t know what people mean when they say that Bush has made “the right decisions,” but if you mean Bush is winning the war against terrorism by his handling of Iraq, there’s no evidence of that.

Bush never justified his invasion of Iraq. We didn’t complain, because Hussein was a slimy guy and we wanted to be rid of him. The war in Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror. There was never a connection made between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda. We have never seen any evidence that Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction.. If anything, the war in Iraq has diverted resources we needed to have in Afghanistan tracking down Bin Laden, is still at large.

Bush is not working for America’s interests. He has unabashedly given out scads of no-bid government contracts to his corporate sponsors. Look at the facts and ask the logical questions; Bush has served corporate interests unwaveringly from day one. Bush has done nothing for America that was not either for show or a happy side effect of his ruthless pursuit of his own agenda. The President has built up the largest deficit in our history while reducing taxes for the wealthy, thus stealing trillions of dollars from American taxpayers, and giving the money to his corporate pals as government contracts and tax cuts. Robbin’ Bush steals from the people and gives to the rich.

We accept this because we love the simplicity of Bush’s world view. It’s hard to accept that big problems do not have easy solutions. We want a world where if George promises to get rid of Al-Qaeda, he’ll do it, and we just have to “stay the course” (translation: don’t ask questions, just let me finish looting our country and theirs). Choosing not to see the obvious lie allows us to trust that the world is secure. So we don’t have to wonder about Bush’s war on terrorism. We only have to decide if we are against terrorism, if we support the war and our troops. We’re either patriotic Americans or we’re a threat to our homeland security.

I want to believe Bush is doing the right things, but I’ve been plagued by facts that make it impossible. His best logic is circular. “We’re doing this because it is the right thing to do”. Being able to “stay the course” when things are difficult is admirable --unless you’re going the wrong way.

America’s commitment to simplicity is dangerous. We can’t always assume that the government’s answer is the right one, and if we don’t love our country enough to pay attention and enough to complain when necessary, we may be complicit in our own defeat by terrorism. George Bush serves Enron, not America. We need to watch him, and we need to make sure he knows we’re watching.

Re:Re:Re:Re:u.s president
I will try to bring my "french personal view" about the current US president.
I think that the ideology , the neoconservatism, who is the base to all of these politics is the new humanism.. In the world where we live,defend freedom and the right for everyone to can dispose of this own natural freedom is an imperative. That's the reason why i support the action of President Bush. Ok, a lot of things (and strong debate)could be made about the iraq conflict, but the philosophy of action is right in my opinion.

Since Bush has got the president place, most people in France like criticized the Us politics..It's just the result of an imcomprehension of currents international issues and a kind of jealousy behind the isolationism that can lead France in secession..

I would like to say my positive opinion about current american representant of diplomacy Condoleza Rice. She can make an excellent President..Wait and see!
