Do Americans understand that we are two acts of Congress from economically destroying our enemies?

Yes, i realize that, since the US has sooo much oil in their reserves, seriously, they do.  Also, Alaska has an unfathomable amount of oil, the fair tax thing should be implemented though

JUST 4 YOUR IGNORANCE!\nBlame your government, bcz you are brainwashed a majority of you, just as you believed killing millions in Iraq ,Vietnam ,helping Israel to kill Palestinians ,and killing millions in Japan before of that was necessary,? killing and Enslaving millions of Africans, as well as the destruction of the native Americans(Indians). you used to be proud to be Americans, but the TRUTH MUST SET YOU FREE! Do like most of YOU real Americans do, ignore Bush&Company. Morons and idiots run your country. I'm just glad they do open their fat mouths 4 the Iraqi PETROL ..killing your people there!, that way you know who to ignore as to who to approach. CHEERS and good day!

They are doing it with General Motors cars as well. Televisions from RCA (Thompson Electronics), and I am sure thousands of other things America has given them with our outsourcing. Our trade with Communist China is upside down too with the Republican Administration of George Bush. 3% from us to them, and over 20% from them to America. They have broken Americas trade agreement for years now, and Bush wont do anything about it. They are Communists and an enemy to the United States. They are using the extra revenue to extend their military also. It's a bad deal all around. America is going to try to remove the republicans from our Congress in November hopefully.

They are NOT!! Not at all. Look at the war, our own citizens blame us when we defend ourselves. They (congress) are whores of votes. They are just looking to give their own family a good ride in this themepark of life, there is more, much more.\nTime to bomb the middle east like they want us to, welcome to martyrdom, end of story.

That comparison is dated. Americans have never followed even the noblest of ideals championed by our for fathers when they are against money matters. The USA is now the puppet master that pulls the strings of over half of the world. It didn't start with Iraq. We've been doing it for over 200 years now. And it's good that we have been too. If we didn't grab up the oportunities someone else would. Look at history. Every country that gets its interior problems sorted out turn to imperialism, even our civilized cousins the French, the Belgians, the Swiss, all of them. Would you rather someone else held the whip?

would Americans make a mistake and put a coward in office, a vote for a Democrat is a vote for our destruction

Your right and I hate to say it osama dinladin was right when he said Americans don't have the heart to weather a long term war.  Its a shame becuase the American people don't understand whats at stake.

i'm sorry, but...don't you think that WE are their enemy in THEIR book? And that they must think the same things about us??\n\nto the asker: i sure am not American, when it comes to people like you! i mean, can't you look at their side of the story for once? I think we have caused more dammage to them in the space of a couple of years than they have to us\n\nDo i dare say it? or is there a sliver of selfishness here?

I am going to touch basis here on a few different thing in addition to answering your question...1) There is a spell checker if you look just above the upper right corner of your comment box...2)some of you who have answered this don't seem to think that the senate and the house are competant...the collective American has already elected these persons, generally we don't learn from our mistakes...and our system isn't perfect so when we hold public elections, there is no guarantee that the new house and the new senate will meet your specifications...the entire nation will never agree on who we elect...3)The Americans advancing on the Germans in WWII has drastically changed everything that you do today...The Americans were for the most part devestated by the Third Reich, with the exception of a few key victories, a homeland attack by the Germans at that time would have been catastrophic to our nation...so appreciate the decision to make that move, it was justly made...4) and now to you question...No, I don't think so, the empathy that is implied by our Nation by "keeping our noses in other's business" shows our integrity...I know that one of the main arguments of OIF is the lack of WMD (weapons of mass destruction), or more specifically, our inability to find any...however our presence there opened our eyes to the abominations that are daily routine in that nation...and you are probably thinking that it has nothing to do with us???  It is similar to if you walked into your neighbors house to see if he was beating his dog and saw that he had killed his baby...pretty effed up, huh?  In this instance it is your civil duty to take action... OIF is that same thing in the same context, only on the national level, and it is very necessary...however, yes...before we were a superpower and not able to do the integral thing, we were probably subject to much less criticism...but the bitter truth is that anyone put under the white light is subject to much criticism, whether it is justified or not is a matter of opinion to the rater...hopefully this helps you out with your question...step back and look at the big picture, not just the bottom corner...

Corporate America will do anything to make or save a buck.  They pay off the lawmakers to make it easy for them to screw the rest of us.  Eventually we, as a people, will wake up and throw the bastards out and get back to working for ourselves rather than for Bush's friends.

We don't hate the American people, they're victims of their own media and education systems. What we are strongly against is the current American governament which is a worse lier than gobelz .

Our greatness lies in the beginning of the Declaration of Independence that ALL men are created equal and deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of hapiness. Our leaders forgot that concept in the need to forge power for themselves and this nation. Other nations were sold out to brutal puppet governments for the sake of our prosperity and security, but in the end, they sold our security for greed, for power, for corporate interests, because people everywhere will fight for their freedom against all odds and all costs no matter how horrible. We are living now in the "reckoning". Continued hypocricy will destroy us. When America wakes up, we will save ourselves, and in that saving, will again be a great nation based on the enlightnement of our founders.

I think that they should both be investigated, taking us to war for their own personal gain. I hope the democratic congress has several investigations into their wrong doing. We will see what comes out of that.

It makes me sad to realize that more Americans are even dumber and more gullible than I had thought.\n\nIf the Dems pass the legislation they spew about, be ready for a new economic depression and an unprecedented assault on your rights and freedoms.

no we are victims of our noninformed ,nonvoting, not civicallyu or politically active selves remember what we learned in school American government is a republic if you can keep it I dont remember the exact quote or who said it but too many of us sit around and wait to for our interests to be protected by someone else-they- a government that historically looks after the interests of the highest payer,freedom is not free and that includes social justice and social institutions and corporate policies on a macrolevel that negatively impact the working and lower classes of society,we are victims because we refuse to help ourselves and privately hoping mommy will take care of it
