Bush's assent to power didn't have to mean the ruin of America, but it has and did. Nothing Bush has done since 9/11 has helped America become safer. Instead, b/c of our disgusting desire to torture and welcome all the abuses we ascribe to Third World dictatorships (illegal domestic spying, torture, denying people habeaus corpus, environmental degradation, millions without healthcare, rampant religious fundamentalism, etc., etc., etc.), this country has lost its standing in the world as a beacon of freedom and democracy, which is horrifically ironic given what W. has preached continuously for the last 8 years.
It's disgusting and America stinks because of what Bush, Cheney and the neo-cons did to this country. I'd almost rather live in Somalia than in America considering the above.
