I have a healthy respect for what the USA has acheived as such a young country. I love the place when I go and visit, and as countries, we both have a mutual respect for each other, due to the fact we are very similar in a lot of ways. Yes, the US hasn't always been perfect, but what country has? It is still my second fave place on the planet (after the UK).
What really annoys me, is how the current admistration has hijacked the patriotism of the US people to further it's agenda. Bush is not the sharpest tool in the box and the way he trots out the same tired old lines makes me sick. He has obviously got big money behind him and a lot of the media too (Fox should be called Basil Bush).
Kerry is at least intelligent, but he does seem to alter his views with the wind. Out of the two candidates, I believe Kerry is the stronger. I hope the US people realise that most of the world do not hate the USA, but the Bush regime. I think Kerry is the only choice to help undo the damage done by bush, and hopefuly the 3rd member of the coalition of the willing will follow the other two straight out of office.
