"Post positive stories here to counter-balance mine then. If you can." There are innumerable such stories as well as negative comparable stories about other cultures ... but I don't play bigoted games. It's an interesting game where the only winning strategy is not to play. All you bigoted extremists are miserable cowards who defeat yourselves at the cost of your very soul, but you are welcome to enjoy your company all you like. I'm sure you find great joy in hanging with longnshort types. Its a free country. Maybe you have convinced yourself you have something to gain. hmmm and what if you gain the whole world but lose your very soul?

Iranians marched in support of the US after 9-11. Arafat got down on his knees after 9-11 in tears and offered any help he could. Almost every Muslim country offered their condolances and help in Afghanistan. That was a huge opportunity but Bush blew it. That was the time Bush should have taken the world's goodwill and used it for positive purposes. Instead, he quickly forgot about Afghanistan and started his pointless, selfish war in Iraq, which as we now know has been a complete self-defeating disaster. True Saddam is gone but El Sadr is poised to be his successor, an ally of extremists in Iran. And since Bush started his crazy crusade, the Middle East has quickly grown more hostile toward us, and much more dangerous. It wasn't anywhere near this dangerous before 2003. Also, just think of the cost. Just awful. Bush doesn't deserve our support, he deserves quick impeachment. And he shouldn't even be allowed to have a presidential library. If he were a Japanese leader the right thing for him to do would be suicide with a short sword. That would be the noble thing to do. But of course Bush would never admit he's been wrong or corrupt.
