I just feel like America as a government, had the chance after it was attacked in 2001 to show some real leadership and live up to the title of being a world leader. But possibly understandably, like many countries would have done, it showed a negelct for rassionality and responsibilty, having bombing campaigns with codenames like 'shock and awe' and President Bush labeling whole nations as 'evil' in public speeches.
I think it's just a shame that someone like George Bush was leading a country, that has potential to do real good, when all this terrorism and violence really kicked off. He wasn't and isn't ready to deal with all the foreign issues and it's a shmae for all of us that he was there.
There's a song with some video clips to that effect and it's up on YouTube if anyone wants to view it.

I hope over the next few years we can learn from our recent mistakes. |
