You make a very good point.  Check out the new "the America I believe in" campaign recently lanched by Amnesty International http://believe.amnestyusa.org   AI has launched this new campaign to restore our traditional American values of justice, rule of law, and human dignity.   It even provides simple actions you can take, and ways to raise awareness in your community.\n\nThe America we believe in... leads the world in human rights\nThe America we believe in... does not torture people\nThe America we believe in... does not run secret prisons\nThe America we believe in... would shut down Guantanamo Bay

The same reason George Bush can't say "Nuclear";\n\nIGNORANCE!

All of these reasons plus:\n\n1) We have made asses out of ourselves in the eyes of the world.  Other countries no longer respect us due to Bush's rush to war against a country that had nothing to do with attacking us.  The world used to want to be like us... now they are just waiting for us to deplete ourselves enough so they can divide the pieces up.  (Think Dubai Port Deal).  \n\n2) How can you respect someone who gets it WRONG so much of the time?  We were wrong about WMD, we were wrong about the aftermath of the war, etc...\n\n3) Seeing that we could not even manage to rescue our own citizens after a Hurricane has pretty much exposed the paper lion for what it really is.  \n\n4) Other counties are getting more news and more TRUE news about what is really happening in the world than we are.  We only THINK we have free press.  Bush and his Neo-Cons control what you hear and now even what you say.... be careful.. .the NSA is listening!\n\nWearable Opinions! - www.cafepress.com/politicalgfx

President Bush didn't "rig" anything.  What I find interesting is that these people seem to forget that there is a record of things they said in the past.   Thanks for pointing this out though.

Is George Bush far too to the Right For the US. [By the way you're the US not America, America North and South are Continents not countries, unless of course Bush has taken over everywhere.]\n\nThe US needs some Left Wing policies to bring some balance back some sanity to the insanity created by Bush.

The trouble is that George Bush, no matter how resolute, has never understood the Arab world. He has blundered his way through territory that should have been about diplomacy and careful planning. Now, instead, we have a mess in Iraq and almost universal mistrust of everything American. His bully boy tactics have created a politics of fear. And yes, I do believe that his miscalculated entry into Iraq has been the source of discontent that has sponsored the growth of terrorism.

It never passed in Congress, so it was never sent to President Bush to be signed.  It has since be reintroduced a different form and it didn't go anywhere.

The US is far from a secular humanist country.  If it were, Bush would not have gotten elected.

I really think the George Bush administration has sent America backwards 50 years. I don't have to go into all of the obvious inflation. Bush hasn't vetoed any spending legislation, or any legislation at all. It's all poor leadership.

It's not that Bush hasn't signed it, but that it hasn't been ratified by Congress. The US signed the protocol when Clinton was in office, but Congress did not ratify it and Bush has refused to even submit it for ratification.\n\nHis rhetoric bull is that it would hurt the American economy. What it boils down to, the industrial sector doesn't want to do it, and they paid for his election.

George Bush and the Republican party have been busy dismantling America.  They have cut the budgets of countless agencies that provide useful services to America, and removed  or muzzled experienced staff, replacing them with political hacks, and outright enemies of the agencies missions.  FEMA, EPA, USDA, CDC, CIA, FBI...\nThey have cut taxes and spent America into dangerous levels of debt, so that a future administration will be forced to cut social programs and guarantees of a safety net for the elderly and weak of our society.  \nThe Bush administration has also destroyed the ideals that America stood for.  The ones that we all learned as children, for honor, justice and freedom.  All reduced to meaningless slogans to taunt our secret prisoners and disappeared suspects with.

There is no declaration of war filed with congress, and George bush cannot use the military rule. He says we are peace keepers now, although everyone knows that America is really occupiers of Iraq.

Because this country just can't seem to keep it's nose out of other countries affairs .  It thinks every other country should be just like it. Not all countries want to be like the U.s and the sooner the USA realizes that the better

The U.S. stands for United States [of America].  That's who.  If your talking about Afghanistan, they deserved it unfortunately.  If your talking about Iraq, they probably didn't deserve it.  And what's wrong with taking over countries in the name of anti-terrorism if those countries governments harbor terrorists?

I'm unaware that Bush has ever attacked a country without a reason. The only countries America has ever fought with during the Bush administration were Iraq and Afhganistan, in which we had many reasons to be there. What are you talking about? Are you stoned?

because many things that happen to a country does not start or stop when a president takes office. there are things that president Clinton decided to do or not to do that effects todays culture. there are some things happening today that can be traced back to Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.  also some people ask such hateful questions about Preident Bush that they want to remind them of the mistakes of the previous adminstration. no matter who  wins in 2008 they will be directly compared to president Bush.

Because America is not interested in democracy. It wants to transfer tax payers money to republican contributing companies, which happen to sell weapons used in WARS
