It seems that decisions made by US government have hurt them a lot more than it would seem at first.
Bush/ US is/will be loosing friends all over. First Spain, now Labour party in UK is suffering... According to latest polls, they (Blair) would loose to Howard if elections were right now.

It seems that everybody willing to give the finger to US is very popular atm. Following European politics, it seems everybody who has shown disapproval of US politics/ US has gained a lot of popularity. Looks like Bush and his decissions have served a very bad favour to all his friends, and everybody who has followed WILL suffer because of that.

Not to mention the Arab world...


Just random thoughts... what do you think?

And Blair is kinda isolated in his own party so even if he were to run again im not sure he would get the support from his own party that is needed

it doesn't really matter in Great-Britain

Howard and his Conservative party are even bigger lapdogs then Blair (if that is even possible)

the biggest problem that Blair is facing are other Labour members, not the opposition

They are all politicians. So, if and when a new government is elected here, we will have "new" friends. Our "old" friends may then become our new enemies. :)

You gotta love politics, because it's the only game where you always win even when you lose, and you always lose, even when you win.

Hahahaha. Sorry, I'm a proud American too, but im not going to sit there and say that we're the only moral nation blah blah blah. There is a lot of very bad things going on that our country is responsible for. Its just amazing how blind some people can be. These days morality is really subjective.

I think he's right in the sense that compared to previous superpowers, the US is much more responsible. However, day after day, it seems that we're becoming more and more like them..

If Kerry defeats Bush, then I think everyone in the world will be celebrating along with many in the US. It's as if this election means just as much to to others in the world.

Kerry is a god-less flip-flopper who doesn't have the communication channels to hear and execute God's will that Bush has. Furthermore, he doesn't support our troops, based on the latest Bush ad.

I don't mind people in Canada, Mexico, Germany, France being happy. I mind the terrorists and north koreans who will be singing in joy claiming they've won.

You're just a troll. It's already been proven that Bush doesn't have to hear God's will if he IS God.

I bow down to George W. Bush, may we protect him from the pretzels of death and destruction.
