Okay, so you're telling the US is not a nations of fools, and that you are just one of the fools that exist in every nation. Sounds fair enough. Actually, I never thought of the USA as a nation of fools, at least not until that nation voted for Bush for the *2ND* time. I mean, his first election can be called an honest mistake, but how can a nation continue to follow such an insane leader with such dangerous ideas? That is *very* hard to understand. -- Thanks, Frank. (remove 'q' and '.invalid' when replying by email)

It's an illustration of how dumb he is - which - taken together with other contributors to this thread shows how misinformed the US is. Hence poor policy is no great surprise. Graham

By comparison with some previous Presidents, Bush is a genius and the epitome of sanity. Look up accounts of some of the pre-WWII presidents, back to the 19th century. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
