Well, I guess that depends on your defiition of "America," Kickstart. 50% of us at least didn't vote for these SOBs, not in 2000, not in 2004. Many of us actively worked against him. We protest, we do actions, we fund opponents, write letters to the editor, call our elected representatives, and yet, here we are.
Okay, so there are way too many stupid/gullible/evil people who've supported this regime. But Bush was a "popular" President for how long? Six months after 9/11? A year?
Yeah, people got tired. I stopped going to protests because I felt like they were useless. These f**kers were going to do whatever they were going to do, regardess of the "will of the people."
I don't know, I'm sick, angry, depressed; I'm way beyond frustrated, I think about leaving the country, every day. I think about not wanting to be an American any more. I think if they drop a nuclear bunker buster on Iran, that will be it for me.
And yet I still hope. I hope that they've gone too far. I hope that too many people are sick, angry, disgusted and can't take it any more. And that somehow our sentiments will be translated into effective action.
