Georg W. Bush
Georg W. Bush is the 44th president of the USA who recently was one of the US candidates for a president. The strong leadership makes him win the US election. In my opinions, he has some policies which may make the world in confusion for 2 reason.
First, he and his alliance army attacked other countries unfairly. For example, he attacked Afghanistan to catch Osama Bin Laden , but until at present they can not find him. In Iraq, his alliance army tried to find weapons, but they could not find anything. Second, he banned other countries to do something, but he do it. He does not allow North Korea to develop nuclear weapons, but USA has the most nuclear weapons. He also accused Iraq to collect weapons, but USA has the highest technology of weapons. If he still keeps on causing some event, the new war may happen. What do you thing about him?

It seems to be a popular myth, particularly among the Democrats, and the usual suspects in Europe, that George Bush is stupid.
Give it up, people! His IQ is somewhere around 130, which puts him in, or close to the genius category.
In any event, he is smart enough to get himself elected president of the world's most powerful nation twice.
I bet some of you wish you were that stupid.

I can tell asterix is one of my kind of people Very Happy

About the weapons too....I get the military's daily newsletter that tells how foreign special forces helped Iraq hide their WMDs....some of you might argue that this news is propaganda, but it never made the mainstream media, so it must be somewhat accurate. Wink

In any case, the Iraqis held their first democratic election in 80 years and turned out in large numbers to vote despite threats from the dirtbags who thought they could prevent it with bombers and so on.
I'd say George W, Bush has had the courage to do something that all the whiners in Europe didn't have the guts (or the sense of loyalty to a faithful ally) to do themselves.
The French, in particular, were completely pathetic, and seem to have forgotten that America has saved their sorry a s s e s twice in the last 100 years.

I am not so sure about what bush is about is doing, but it seems that he is not doing the right thing, alot of people in the middle-east are not so happy about the war in Iraq, and a few describe it as an imperial project in, but under the name of democracy etc. I, myself, see that it's motivated purely by economic reasons, and the US have no real intentions of spreading democracy in Iraq, at least not with this war.

You live in Jordan which seems to be a staging ground for terrorists of the Islamic type, so it's not really surprising that you hate jews and George Bush.
On the other hand you tolerate the fact that "Jordan" is actually the land that was given to the Palestinians but was stolen by the Hashemites.
Even if the war was to improve Israel's position in the middle east - so what?
Israelis have elections and they can elect their government. Can you?

I used to think a bird in the hand was worth two in the Bush, but now I'm not so sure. Perhaps when he's grown up and become a Tree he'll behave with more maturity.

i only want to clarify something:

Jordan is not stolen by Hashmites as you think.

We are all given a one-sided view of history by our governments. Yours is no different.
It's interesting to me that, although it was always the Palestinians who committed the first terrorist murders, you always blame Israel, when they retaliate.
If the Hashemites started the revolt in 1916, presumably it was to take power from someone else, just as the Ottomans did before them . There is this long history of Islamic expansionism and even today, almost everywhere there is trouble in the world there are muslims involved.
What's up with that?
