No one can stop the USA? Wow. Just wow. The Chinese have a military of almost 3.5 million soldiers. They also have many sophisticated weapons systems that are on par with present American systems (not counting for weapons systems in development on either side of the debate). The Russians have quickly rebuilt their military and have more weaponry than the Americans do. The weakness for the Russians is the condition of their arsenal. No one but them knows what shape it is in. Add in the French and Germans, and there is a massive amount of force that could easily be placed on the neck of America. Looking at America, the military is pretty stretched to the breaking point. They don't have the troops to even support the effort in Iraq. Without a draft the military is in serious trouble. Recruiting numbers have not been met for five or six quarters in a row. The miliary isn't a viable alternative when the people of the country think the administration is rife with lying scumbags looking to start a fight with anyone they can.

[quote]Not sure about you but I 'hate' Kim Il and the Iranian president and Putin more than Bush.. Luckily, they don't have the power Bush has at their disposal. The real reason that alot of people 'hate' Bush is that he has alot of power and he is ready to use it, after the events of 9.11. It's an underdog thing. The same reason most people cheer for the underdog - it has metamorphosized into 'Bush bashing'. Can't wait until he's gone if only for that reason.[/quote]

Again, wow. You "hate" these leaders? What the hell have they done to you? What have they done to impact your life what so ever? Jesus, you talk about mindless drivel, and have the balls to float that crap? Get serious. And Bush doesn't have half the power you think he does. The American military has some wonderful technology, but they don't have the bodies to win the war in the long run. Just because they can beat up the lcal 98 pound weaking at the beach doesn't mean anything. The Russians can match the Americans in airframes. The Russians still have more nuclear weapons than the Americans. The Chinese are a complete wild card and I would not want to take on anyone who has 10 times more soliders than I do, especially when I don't know the capability of their weaponry.

People hate Bush because he has no idea what is going on in the world. He makes stupid decisions that alienate other nations and divide people rather than unite. On 9/12/2001, the world was united. Everyone was American and stood behind America. But through a series of stupid decisions, a private agenda, and an endless stream of insults directed at the international community, Bush has polarized the world. When he said, "you're either with us, or against us" he began a division of the world that has the majority of the world powers on the other side of the fense. People hate George Bush because his stupidity allowed him to change the direction of human nature. What could have been the dawning of aquarius turned into game of chosing sides. People hold him in contempt because he's too stupid to acknowledge the opportunity he let slide.
