I think it is a waste of time to hate or even mistrust GW. He is just the rattle at the tail of the snake.

There is no way to "achieve" happiness. When questing is laid aside, desires are become transparent, and thoughts subside, this very moment arises, and with it happiness.
No one can find happiness, or seek it. In fact, it is this very mindset, the search, the goals, the paradigm of linearity, that is the cause of suffering.

Yesterday, I woke to find that Rumsfeld was in Iraq. Twenty four hours later, the two statements that he made which have been quoted the most are “I’ve quit reading newspapers.” and “If anyone thinks that I’ve come here to pour water on a fire, they’re mistaken.” Perhaps his scriptwriter learned firefighting skills in the oil industry, but if that is the type of message that he has managed to deliver to the world at large about how he is handling the problems at Abu Ghraib prison; Rumsfeld has failed his President, and wasted our taxpayer dollars on another useless top secret junket to Iraq.

The only misunderstanding going on is that Americans despite all evidence to the contrary still think their government is somehow good guys and do things in the name of 'righteousness'. This is so rarely the case. We reject that our government is corrupt and that we have egregiously asaulted innocent peoples on certain grounds while supporting others who are worse offenders. We are political hypocrites in the extreme and view ourselves as better than, in order to spread a doctrine that doesnt even work for us in the present and is in deep neglect internally. American policy is not misunderstood, it is faulty, greedy and misconcieved at its core, much as British empirical nature was in its day, or any other nation bent on 'changing the world', which eventually crumbles in its own arrogance.

Context is everything.

Both parties dance to the green enchantress we call money and the rush of ego that comes with power

What a nightmare scenario might lie ahead! People who want to serve in the military being forced out; people who don't want to serve in the military being forced in. Does this make any sense at all?

On the whole though, I think it has generally been the heterosexual community which has been blamed for the worldwide population explosion.

The sad thing is that Americans, our politicians, presidents and citizens will continue to fund these [Saudi] scumbags for oil. Crack whores have more pride.

This continued reference to female hormones is just really starting to get under my skin. I am becoming irritable... my mind is escaping my grasp... I have no control... Please make me President so I can now push the button and wreak the same havoc on the world that I experience monthly.
