Bush is America. America voted him to be their leader and he is your leader. Respect that.

Correct that, Bush lost the popular election, only the third president to do so and still be president. He lost by over half a million votes, but won the electoral college, which I've been saying we need to take out for years, but that's a whole 'nother thread all together.

That's right... so not only was Bush not voted in by the majority of American's, half of Americans elegible to vote, have no representation of their views by these corporate political parties and they don't vote. Therefore, even a president like George Bush Senior, who won the popular vote, really only recieved 35% of the vote. That's almost 2 out of 3 eligible voters who did not choose him as president.

So what? That's STILL democracy, man. That's your sistem of election, you can change it. But nobody took the power with the army. It's still the Americans who voted him and, with your system of election, he won. It's not a problem of democracy. It's maybe an internal problem, of the whole system of election. And, if it sux, just change it.

Is it really so hard to understand? From YOUR point of view, you saved YUORSELF. From MY point of view, you saved US. Then it's probably true that Americans did it to fight Nazi's and to save themselves from Nazi's. Do you honestly think i care? No i dont. I care that I dont speak German. Point. And yes, i thank them 25,000 soldiers who died in Italy.

If you knew our history better.. When Americans saved us from Germans and Fascism, we CREATED ITALY. Italy as a democracy has 60 years. Our history was born that day when Americans saved us. C'mon, that's not hard. It was not an important day for you all, maybe, but for us Italians it was been our birthday. And we thank America cause they let us be a democracy for the first time in our history.
