"We have 1,000 guys out in the field. People make mistakes, they do stupid things sometimes."Erik D. Prince, chief executive of Blackwater USA, which is under scrutiny for shootings by its employees in Iraq.
I think US should just come up with an updated dictionary so that the world can understand it better.
Crime
An act in which an American/American building or the US dollar's value is hurt by a non-American
Defense
An act in which a non-American person/country/economy is hurt by an American
Mistake
An act in which a non-American is hurt by an American, repeatedly, and the the proof is available for the world to see.
Stupidity
An act which has allowed American 'defense' to be caught on tape or some other manner of proof
Dictatorship
A government (other than the Government of USA) that does not have America's best interests at heart. Actually, make that a government that does not support George Bush.
God
Someone who has no doubt of what's right and what's wrong and is always right. Someone who everyone should follow or they'll have hell to pay, and fire. In other words, George Bush. He says anything, anything , and it becomes gospel. Even something as bizarre as the war is a success and has been won, and as Fox News will tell you, it turns true! If that's not a miracle and proof of Godship, what is?
note: An American is a US citizen. Does not include those miserable South Americans whose relatives are constantly trying to sneak in and work for poor wages in USA.

USA is a funny country a very funny one it is like they are caught in the time wrap where no one educated them about the rest of the world for a decade or so and so unfortunately its there where it is. Quite funny why Obama and Hillary are fighting so hard for a presidency of a country which has lots so much in terms of economic stability and global importance in less than 8 years; Thanks to Bush of course.
by the way, alternate thoughts

Hey, thx for writing in.
I agree - US is not a dictatorship. If anything, it probably offers greater freedom of speech to its citizens than any other country in the world.
Nevertheless, its government -though quick to find faults in others- refuses to acknowledge the same chinks in its own armor. The US Government says it upholds democracy, and yet it launched the war against Iraq despite significant opposition and formidably-sized rallies in its own country - clearly against the spirit of democracy.
Similarly, the US government's tacit support for torture runs in the face of the tom-tomming it does across the world.
Hence my post - didn't mean to say they are a dictatorship; meant that there are certain labels such as dictatorship etc it would not paste on itself, no matter what.
hmm Bush actually believed Saddam was an evil man and wanted to end his reign and so he did all this despite none of it making sense
the second fact was of course the fact that Iran & most of Iraq being Sunni; had Saddam rolled over, the reign woud have gone to Iran and then Iran would have been controlling a hige portion of the world's oil which frankly no one wants (not even I as an individual)
Iran is honestly among hte worst and most irrational countries in the world; I am not saying the same about its people but saying it about its govt. no ONE likes dealing with Iran and you didnt want Iran having oil in their hands.
and thirdly the world was lookgin at Bush II to act and he did so with Afghanistan & toppled the Taliban (though briefly) and thouhgt hell I can do this and made the single biggest mistake of US in this century; US's credibility is gone, its almost an untouchable and thats coming at a time when China & Russia are ramping it home.
And I dont want to even tlak about hte deaths and havoc in Iraq, its depressing and it might just get worse.
