I think the world understands us just fine. They need to change the way they understand the world. just found this @ oil drum I think that pretty much everyone on the planet - outside of Bush's supporters in the U.S. - is hoping that the U.S. finds its way back to democracy and reason; otherwise, the future for the planet looks mighty grim. What is deeply troubling to me is that so much of the grass-roots and mass-support that Bush DOES have comes from self-styled Christians in the U.S. - both Catholic and Protestant. And what miniscule support he enjoys in Europe also comes from Christians, as far as I know. What I want to know is this: What the hell are these people thinking??! This is where institutions like the papacy, and the Evangelical Christian leadership here in the U.S., could be doing A LOT more than they are to wake people up. Essentially, if they wanted to, they could remove Bush's mass base of power through thundering sermons from the pulpit and the like. But it would appear that today's Christian leadership has been broadly co-opted, and is therefore abjectly beholden to the Bushite fanatics.
