Outrage is good, but it will not be enough.
GW Bush and Gang have been misruling the US (and because the US is the world's sole superpower - misruling the world as well) for well on eight years now.
By 2004, it had been clearly demonstrated that GW Bush and Gang were liars, thieves and war criminals - and yet US citizens voted them into power again!
I do hope that things will now be different in the coming elections and that McCain+Palin (= GW Bush3) will not be voted in. I notice with some dismay that McCain+Palin are running Obama-Biden pretty close in the opinion polls (for whatever those polls are worth).
The world waits with bated breath for the day after Election day, 2008!

"I (along with Dick Cheney) got my administration to lie to US Citizens about Iraq, Saddam, WMD, the works
"I got my administration to lie to the US Congress to get the funding to run my little adventure in Iraq...a little matter of US $ 600 billion (give or take a few scores of billions)...
"I lied to the UN and I got my administration to lie to the UN..
"I lied to US citizens about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, about the nice way we were treating prisoners there...
"Every day in every way I lied, and lied and lied again and again and again...
"BUT NOW, SO HELP ME GOD (AND JESUS CHRIST), THIS IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH: THE US IS DOOMED UNLESS YOU SUPPORT ME IN BAILING THE WALL STREET FAT CATS OUT OF THE TROUBLE THEY HAVE GOTTEN US INTO...

As Bush himself said two days after the election, in a press conference on November 4, 2004:
"And it's one of the wonderful -- it's like earning capital. You asked, do I feel free. Let me put it to you this way: I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style. That's what happened in the -- after the 2000 election, I earned some capital. I've earned capital in this election -- and I'm going to spend it..."
I wonder when are US citizens going to start asking GW Bush, War Criminal, some real hard questions!

John McCain has been accused of bizarre behaviour in this run-up to his first debate with Barack Obama...
...but US citizens did it first! They accepted GW Bush as President in 2000 and then again in 2004!!
That was extremely bizarre behaviour both times around - and the costs to the world have been huge.
I wonder what bizarre behaviour will US citizens show us now... will they choose McCain+Palin and send the world further down the road to disaster?

1) GW Bush and Gang LIED to US citizens to get them to morally approve their dirty little war on Iraq
2) GW Bush and Gang LIED to the US Congress to get them to fund this dirty little war in Iraq
3) GW Bush and Gang enabled Halliburton and others to loot US funds by giving them 'no-bid' in Iraq
4) GW Bush and Gang lied to the world at the UN to get support for this dirty Iraq War (they didn't get much approval except from the 'Coalition Of The Willing' - but that's another issue
5) GW Bush and Gang brought unutterable shame on the US through their policies that enabled Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo
6) GW Bush and Gang outed Valerie Plame to get their own back on her husband...
7) GW Bush and Gang proved themselves utter incompetent to govern the US when they allowed New Orleans to suffer through Katrina - GW Bush actually congratulated Mike Brown for "doin' a great job, Brownie!"
8) GW Bush and Gang wasted $ 600 BILLION on GW Bush's petty little war against Saddam...
9) GW Bush and Gang now want another $ 700 BILLION to enable Wall Street sharpsters to play with the US and the world's economy!
...
(etc, etc, etc)
US citizens right now hugely DISAPPROVE of the way GW Bush and Gang have been maladministering the USA
GW Bush approves of John McCain...
John McCain approves of GW Bush...
...
So how come Obama didn't properly show up John McCain+Sarah Palin at the debate?
Does he want to lose this election that is "his to win or lose"?
