Anti-US Prostests In Turkey and Indonesia! Includes Crispy bush*!

Ahhh you have to appreciate good protests when you get to see them! I had no clue this was happening until I came across these photos at yahoo. I don't watch cnn but I would wager they have not shown this excellent example of world-wide bush* hate today!

4. Sad thing is,

I fear these protests will be used for nefarious ends. The Muslim press will use this to gain more anti-American sentiment, especially for the more fanatical wings of Islam, while the American press, if they show these photos at all, will whip up anti-Muslim feelings among the Christian fanatics.

It would be nice if photos like this could be shown and discussed objectively with a look for answers other than "they hate us for our freedoms", which means nothing. But I don't think anyone in the US is really ready to take an objective look at our foreign policy and how it really impacts the world. Sad thing is that it is our loss; as more and more of the world views us as being out of control, the less support we will have on all fronts, and our economic collapse will come sooner and not later, with no tears shed by any other country.

7. If Kerry was elected, I'd agree. Maybe I don't know what to think anymore

but given *'s own statements and actions, and that this is a war, you bet they're going to be 'nefarious'. They're doing what we have been doing with the beheadings and everything else.

Vicious circle. It never ends. Unless we choose to.

And the problem is, once we get into the circle, it's appallingly difficult to try to escape from it. I've been there myself.
