I don't know if my wiew are facinating in any way, but I do my best to try to understand what happen in your contry this days... And I am little afraid what came next, if you shoose ill... If another republican Administration, specially with McCain/Palin on the ticket was to be "elected" as the next president/vice president, then I for one, would find a spot in the woods, where I can run for, if it was rumors of war... I know it maybe is little harsh. But before the 2004 election I promised to build myself a little fall out shelter if mr Bush was elected twice... Becouse I really belived that the american public was not that S.T.U.P.I.D to elect the same idiot as president.. And I have to say, I was little disipointed when he was elected..... In the end I was not building that shelter.. I have more than 4 public shelter in an 10km radius.... Yes I have been "reqonised" little for where the shelters are in my back jard, just to be on the safe side of things... And it is important to know it, if the imposible happend... Anyway I am living in a pretty peacefull corner of the world anyway so I guess I am somewhat safe for the madness of "the new american century" as the PNAC crowd wanted to make posible.. To me it look like a nightmare for the rest of the world..:nuke:

US have allway somewhat managed to ge om the top, every time you are going to the ashes.. That is an amazing traditon you have there.. But this time I am verry afraid of what can happen, if US are not woting "right". This election, is maybe the most important election I have ever tried to follow... With my 32 year I am maybe not that old, but it scare the hell out of me, just to think what can happend if a clone of mr Bush jr was to be elected as president.. Been dead by the month and replaced by Ms Palin who really belive the world would end now.. And if that is not happend, will try to help it along that path... That is scaring to me.. really scaring...

In the past, US have allways some how managed to get leaders in bad times, who managed to get thing around.. FDR, Truman (even if he is little more doubtfull in my wiew) JFK just to menchen some.. This time around you have not excactly that option.. But I have to say, if I had the posibility to wote in your election I would withouth a heartbeat woted for mr Obama.. He was not my first shoice of candidates, but compared to mr McCain/Palin, Obama/Beiden looks like a sure bet.... They do have the brain, and it looks like they can manage to get that "spirit" in the US to wake up, and make everything posible... For greefs sake US managed to get the man on the moon.. Why should you then manage to get enough american to understand that mr McCain/Palin is a verry bad shoice, compared to an Obama/Baiden ticket?

I miss the "old america" who I once belived in, I am grown up with the idea of US as a great nation, a country where everything is posible if you just stick your hand to it.. In every part of our culture the US have some part, be it music, movies, cars... I was grow up in the back side of american made cars - to we moved to a place where it was pretty slippery in the winter, and therefore it was not excactly great whit a 2 ton Detroit steel on the road... And even then in the 1980s, the petrol price was hitting new highs and it could be little expensive to drive a 2 ton V8 engine... Today it looks like a sharm periode.. Vith 4-5 kr a liter... Today the price is 13 kr a liter!! or like 2:38 for one liter of petrol..
I miss the feeling that US was one country we could trust. A country who acted as our "big brother" somewhat, who we could work with on any level.. I am maybe naive here, but I do belived that the US was a great country compared to the rest of the crowd.. I really belived US to be an country who was doing thing better for the rest of the world, specially our own little part of the world. Compared to the rest, US war pretty kind to Europe after the war (ww2) and many was given "free loan" to build up what was bombed down and out in the war... And that is have not be forgotten either.. Even in the startup to the war...

I miss the old America, we could se to. Maybe little naive here, but I do belive that the US once was standing for many thing that was right - in theory then.. Even that your goverment was doing pretty many evil things in the past, somehow the "magic from the US" was there... From the old movie pictures to the Twin Towers.. From Mayflower, to the Space Shuttle.. I even wrote a essay once in my first grade, where I wanted to came to US to be an astronaut:bounce: Wel that was a dream I never exactly managed to get to then.. But I still have the essay somehwere.. Funny to read then..

US have a lot of the stake this time around.. Your are in DEAR NEED of another government, who are more willing to lisen to your friends and allied.. And posible also, to UNDERSTAND who are your friends, and who are not your friend.. You have a continent here in Europe who have been waiting for a sane leadership in the US for allmoust 8 year.. And I fear if you wote "wrong" this time around, the EU just have to work closer to get THEIR act togheter, and not to trust US as they have been for the past 60 year.. The current administration was burning a lot of brigdes before the Iraqi War.. And I would hate to se every brigde between Europe and US been destroyed before 2012.. What the US need more than ever is this dam brigdes over the atlantic, so europe and US can help eatch other in many of the problems we face toghter.. We can fight the "good fight" and build a better peacefully world.. But the US have to prove for the rest of the world, that the 8 year with mr Bush jr, was something you regret.. 8 year with that madness mr Bush have been given you, and our world is enough.. I for one can't for a second understand why enough american managed to wote that ex drug and alcohol adiced man to be your President... A man with less offences at his public record would have no shance in hell to be elected to other than a small town leader in our parts of the world... But in the US the same man can be woted President, the most powerfull part in the whole US.. And as President in the US, also the most powerfully man in the whole World...

As I say before.. If mr McCain/Palin really was to be woted President and vice President in the US, I have to seriousy thinking about places to hide myself and my family if war broke loose... I know a few places where I can hide myself and my family, but then I maybe have to get some food, water and other things who is important if the war is broking out even in little peacefully Norway... I fear a republican leadership in the US..
The economical problems you have today, can be worse for the time coming.. I for one have never even thougt about the fact, that this economical stupidity that your current administration have been playing the last 8 year, are verry similar to the stupidity that the republicans was playing before the great depression in the 1930s.. But compared to then, a economical meltdown would be far worse than it was then... The world are so mutch more inter-linked now than it was then... And in worst case scenario, if the US dollar was to flateline, the rest of the world could close you out of the whole thing.. US as every one else economy in the world need trust to exist. If the trust not exist.... What happend next then?.. Should US DEMAND that the rest prop up the US dollar? I doubt that wil work verry long time.. Even with the treath of a nuclear strike..

I hope you would do the right thing this time around.. And if you have another stolen election, dont just sit there and say "o, we can fight them next time". Do as many other in the world have been doing, if the government have trying to steal another election.. Get Out and fight them. No goverment are imune to public pressure.. Not even a Neo-Conservative goverment... The Noe-cons have to learn that they could just manage to steal elections so many times.. And no more.. You have to fight for your own survival here, not just for an candidate, but also for the FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES as an DEMOCRATIC Republic who have great and deep ties to Europe... Please try to do the right this time around.. I fear, really fear what can happend if you don't..

When it come to english, I have been told, that I at least is better english writing than your current President... Not that that soud so mutch:P. But it sound at least better than he is doing.. It is more like a friendly warning to everyone. That I am not a native speaker in english..
