ya think the homeless..never been educated..sick of life muslim well believe in the war on terrorism..
This is where WE, or rather our intelligence and foreign affairs have gone to shits (because it's more convenient to blame someone else when it's a problem, and take credit when it's something positive).
Good example is how the Bush Administration is dealing with Venezuela and Chavez.
Now, Chavez is a politican/military with a shady past, who undeniably had the support of the majority of the public in Venezuela.
Venezuela, a major oil nation, and with tons of potential for becoming a major US allie, due to that economic power and also due to the geographic location.
Problem: The Bush Administration considers Chavez to be anti-USA.
Solution: What does Bush do then? Tries to build relations with Chavez? Get him closer to the USA? Find ways to tie USA-Venezuela relations? Noooooo... The Bush Administration supports a coupe d'etat.
Fcuking geniuses.
And to top it of, the coupemakers fails. Miserably. Chavez was protected by the Venezuelan public, and his legend grows even more, and any support that the USA had in Venezuela, was now effectively removed.
To build up bilateral and multilateral relations take forever. To kill them takes only the smirk of a below-average IQ president.
And George W Bush had 6 years to kill most that USA had going for them.
If it wasn't so tragic, I would laugh.
