People like Dave unthinkingly hurt the anti war cause. Of course the election was a world wide embarassment to the US. The fact that the election was won in a state ruled by Bushes brother, and a state where the government has used unethical tactics to deny the right to vote (usually to leftists), compounded the embarrassment. It totally made us look like crackers to the rest of the world. To call it a coup, that's in the eye of the beholder, eh? If you're from rural Mississippi the cops who prevented black people from voting probably look like freedom fighters eh?

However Dave is totally correct when he points out that we are good buddies to dictators when it suits us. Not only that but we will topple a legally elected government and install dictators when it suits us. We've done it hundreds of times. It's amazing we haven't had more bombings in the US. Like I said I predicted something like 911 would happen years before it did.

We will also arm people we don't like when it suits us, like the Afghans, and Iraq.

That's why many countries and people do not trust us. It's also the rational that terrorist use to recruit, young, impressionable, angry people to be suicide bombers.

Until we learn this lesson we will never be safe. Saddam or no Saddam.
