Scary how much damage Bush has done to our alliances so quickly. But you could see it coming the first time he went to Europe in 2001. He took an arrogant "I'm doing what I want no matter what you think" tone with our allies on SDI and refusing to keep his promise on ratifying the Kyoto Treaty. Back home, he was all but defending the phony energy crisis and throwing out all things Clinton, including his counter-terrorism programs which might have stopped 9-11 from happening if they'd been kept operational with politics interfering. This Bush Doctrine plus 9-11 has led to the greatest economic collapse (percentage wise) since the Great Depression. And we probably haven't seen the worst yet. Still, Bushies and their mouth-pieces in the press cotinue to praise Bush for his masterful job. But what has he really "accomplished"? Malaise, division and economic hardship all over the place. And he has almost completely squandered the tremendous pro-US goodwill which came to us after 9-11, when even Arab leaders were offering to do everything they could to help us. What a shame. And what a travesty that the right-wing continues worshipping their leader. I say "their" leader because Bush represents only the right-wing. Not moderates, liberals or allies. He represents a narrow minority special interest doctrine. And that doctrine is bringing us down.

scott... re.."The president and his men have put their own team in a hole so deep that when Washington does go to war against Iraq, as it soon will, it is unlikely to have any major allies left other than the governments of Britain, Spain and Poland." True..BUT.. lets look on the Bright (Green-Gold)Side Juniors Pals have made a BUNDLE in their Oil investments.. (and quite possibly Gold plays...... Their House of Saud Pals.... Neil Bush's ..golf partners in far off Arabia.... have always preferred Gold...) Guns and munitions... Homeland Defense spending.. ( Gotta LOVE ...lil Marvin Bush's Incredible Texas Two step Biz Insights.... Beginning a Homeland Security related Gizmo Incorp.... and doing it OFF SHORE..... I can hear him humming 'God Bless America'..Right Now....) Not too mention Pres Cheney's Fat.. Back room contracts on energy....... and his .. Buds at HAL...getting the Food contracts on the K rations OUR BOYS will be eating ..'Over-There'.... "For As Long as it Takes.." So...to 'think' that George hasn't noticed the 'markets'..is a bit off base....... Our 'elected leaders '..<g> are doing..Just Fine... Dandy..Ehh..? T
