Jefferson, i guess i might add he was a founding father, said it was the peoples' duty to rise against a government that doesnt represent the people. He even stated that a revolution every 20 years was healthy for the state. Now I might not agree with all that and others from his day may of not either but it was a prevailing idea during the time our country was founded. I agree that you cannot just support the president just because hes the president. That would ruin the whole system of checks and balances. Current politics is so closely measured by popularity raitings that politicians try improve their percentage rather than do whats right for the country. My personnal belief is that yes, the current amdinistration lied, or turned a cold shoulder on information that was contradictory to a War response to the situation. I rather believe that Dick Clark fellow and how he was saying how the adminstration was always looking for a reason to go to war. Why i believe him? He was the only man, or at least the first man to TRULY apologize to the american people and the trade tower victims families' that yes He and his superiors screwed up. I think that most of the people in this country would rather drive their huge SUV's and have some American flag stickers on the bumpers and think they are supporting our men fighting in Iraq. I think you dont have to support the president, and since he has been part of so many fishy situations i would think its healthy to take a second glance at what he does. The people you HAVE to support is the men and women that are over seas. I have a couple of family members in Iraq right now and once they come home, the government will do its very minimum to help them get back on track.
and to point out, why do islamic "fanatics" think the way they do? Why do palestinians hate israel? Well way back in the days around WWII and after, we, the USA meddled in their affairs, and took sides when it was none of our business. We support israel, which IMO, terrorizes palastine and the palastinian response is only natural. Remember, after WWII israel was formed out of islamic stats, including palestine. Israel did not exist for hundreds of years, and then to tell people that, oh millions of people are going to live in your area you need to make way for them. All these events you can relate to american history, check out how we handled them...
