"Americans", does that include USonians too?? However, I think I detected a small increase in USonian basic knowledge instilled by the Discovery Channel, according to PISA. Anyway, Tarzan in the deepest and darkest jungles was fun, too.. ..

Re: You can call Bush what you wish... You would be wise to pay much more attention to history and less to "The Cheerleader's Pocket Guide to Insipidity": Theodore Roosevelt said: "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." --Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 I will reiterate: George Bush is a stingy, illegitimate fraud. A man who has reprehensibly led our army into a quagmire in Iraq based totally on deceit, and ulterior motives. His goals are corporate goals and do not reflect the needs of the American public. Your mindless cheerleading notwithstanding.
