Now?
I like how he is collaborating with everyone on SS, I'd like to see more collaboration on un-biased judge selections (haven't followed it, but seems like the democrats should be more involved), but other than that, the damage has been done.
For the most part, i've liked some of the things he's been pushing in the Middle East, also his Asian agenda.
looking back the Iraq war was too premature (imo) and the tax cuts, while i still support them, were too deep in the time of potential war and deficit expectations. Bush gets way too much crap for what he has done, the key things to be critical of imo is his agressive stance with regards to Iraq, his social agenda and his brutal speaking skills.

I'm not expecting good things out of Iraq regardless of what we do. I'd rather pull our troops home before any more get killed on a lost cause. Bringing the troops home from Europe is a good idea too...don't need them there anymore. Germany can defend themselves from the nonexistant Soviet threat.

I disagree.
Your country unilaterally invaded Iraq and you owe it to them to create stability in their nation as the majority of the people have no control over this aspect of their lives.
Bringing US troops home at this point in time would be inhumane and counterproductive to the mission as radicals will just take over the country and will become ten times worse than it was under Saddam.
You break it, you buy it. Sorry.
At least countries like Canada who were against the war are helping with aid and reconstruction.
Some of the more radical leftists have so much hatred they are unable/don't want to come up with concrete suggestions. Whatever Bush does, they take the opposite side. :disgust: Kudos to the rest of them though
But to answer the OP:
Start pulling out of Iraq
Less contracts for Haliburton
Push forward alternative energy solutions and drilling the ANWR
Roll back at least 1 of his tax cuts
Nixon was to be impeached. You can try that with Bush if you like.

But your reasons for resignation are things people knew before voting. If they wanted him to resign, they had the opportunity to make them.Originally posted by: sandorski
They voted for Nixon too(Voters). Hell, maybe those who voted for bush should Resign with him!
Besides the post asked how Bush could be more constructive...not for him to just fvck off.
Barely 50+% voted for him, and if you believe the polls, a lot of them have lost confidence in him, now.
The whole administration is so rotted through with lies and payoffs from big money that it wouldn't do much good if we were left with Cheney, Dennis Hastert (Speaker of the House, and next in line after Cheney) and the entire roster of those who follow in the order of Presidential succession.
When it comes to payoffs from big money, I'm not too happy with some of the Dem's, either. I hope there are some honest pol's left in Washinton, but it's damned certain they're pretty far away from taking the control we need to get this country back on track. I'm even more afraid the Bushwhackos have broken it so bad that we may never get it all back.

Many have suggested things for Bush to do, they were isolated and eventually resigned in disgust with how Bush runs things. There is no point in suggesting things for Bush to do differently, he does what he thinks and all others be damned, even if those others know what they're talking about and he is out of his league.
The problem eminates from Bush, he should Resign for the greater good of the country.

It's time for the world to pitch in when it comes to strengthening the Iraqi government, and a significant amount of groveling by the Bush administration may be in order to get this done. Time to swallow some of that pride for the sake of the soldiers.

This usually ends in the rest of the world pitching in for the cost. This is not fair considering some countries warned the US of these consequences.
I think Iraq is moving in the right direction, and I have no problem with the US footing the bill for this mess.

And the site references US foreign policy...NOT labelling Bush as anything and certainly not a lunatic.

I think you'd get the same result with any other leader in the whitehouse as Iraq and NK have very little global effect...as the poll was on "danger to world peace".Originally posted by: Pedro69
Who represents America to them?Originally posted by: Stunt
Still no mention of Bush...
The US is pretty much the only nation with enough influence to affect anything on the global stage.
You took the poll on the US, as a poll on Bush ("millions of other people around the world who can't stand him? Many see him as much more lunatic and dangerous then North Korea")
The poll did not mention Bush...you made that up on your own perceptions.
Admit your comments are misdirected please.
