"I really don't see much difference between bad and worse. But beyond that: Isn't it interesting to see how a country with such a strange and mostly broken system goes and bombs other nations to "bring democracy to the world"?

As opposed to what country? It is funny how critics of America suddenly develop amnesia about the history of their own countries.

Oh? So you can help me with my memory... When did we bomb any other nation recently to "bring them democracy"? It could well be that I forgot such a minor incident.

Since I don't know what country you're from, I can't manufacture that evidence, but whatever country you're from, I'm confident that your country has bombed or subjected some innocent country to some evil. Maybe not yesterday, but within recorded time. And maybe not to bring them democracy, but for some equivalently bogus reason.

I vote for King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia. At current oil prices, he is the person who runs America.

<sarcasm mode OFF>

He is from Austria (you only needed to check his profile) and pretty much the only thing you can blame on him is being from the birthplace of Adolf Hitler. Being a birthplace of a tyrant does not make your country an aggressor though.

It is funny how quickly you declare your eagerness to manufacture evidence though. You are an American, aren't you? Registered Republican party voter? =)

Interesting is not the term I would use. Evil would better describe it. Democracy by definition cannot be forced onto people. You cannot bomb a sovereign nation and force them to be free. It just does not work that way.

Please realize America is a great and giving nation. That does not mean we are not able to be evil. America in the last eight years has ruined more than just foreign countries, its ruined America itself.

Half of America may be blind, but the other half has a clue. I hope all the *****s that voted for Bush twice, now realize how they hurt their own families, because Bush made you believe he is a good Christian? Bush is an evil self involved "American Idiot", Please don't hold it against America, or the innocent people here who disagree with the politics as usual.

Germany and its people are not evil because Hitler once ran it.

I love my country, its my government I am affraid of......

Hey, that's a teriffic guess! And you're almost right, except that I am a lifelong Democrat and have never voted for a Republican or an Independent in my life.

And the word "manufacture" was an obvious joke.

And yes, I am an American, though I did live in Russia for a few years, which probably explains my narrowmindedness.
