So what do you mean there is no hostility to George Bush in this world?

Did I say that?
Sure there is lots of hostility to George Bush everywhere. Especially his military campaigns. But they are muted at best, why even where they hurt the most, like in the Middle East, he finds support from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. etc. And...Oh yes Lybia has just recently converted.

But I was mainly talking about unfettered capitalism, not politics when I discussed socialism. It is here where the socialists have thrown in the towel world wide.

I think even some media regurgitating people (I have been labelled as such) hate the dishonesty and constant spin of the Bush admin. and have not supported his war, his 911 spin, his politics, alliances, cabinet choices etc. Fortunately, not being an American, and unable to vote for the next President of the world, I look at your choices and can understand your frustrations.

Btw. my last few words "damn Cuba" was intended as a kind of jab at the New World Order, because Cuba may well be the last remaining truly socialist outpost, not likely to be invited into the club.

There is no doubt where you stand politically Ray. I try to look at the political system from an imposed distance inorder to see the whole picture. And even at that, I make mistakes. But I consciously try to avoid that which you accuse me of. That can't be said for those who think they have all the answers and have taken up the cause be it from the right or the left.

Funny also, how those at the extremes, tend to label others. Could this be because they are so convinced of their obvious infallibly correct political outlook, that they can't seem to help but call others less intelligent for not seeing the world as they do?
