At the moment, I am very disturbed indeed by some of the agendas I believe are being portrayed in some posts in this thread.
My agenda:

I liked America in democratic rule
when George Bush was elected I said to myself 'a disaster is going to happen and he's going to handle it badly'
Sept 11th happened, I was obviously furious at the terriorists and sympathetic for america. But again I said to myself 'oh god what are they going to do'
I accepted the war against Aufghanistan since Alqueda was based there. I became outraged when George Bush started to say things like it is the policy of his government to remove sadam. How can your policy be to overthrow a foreign leader? Then the Iraq thing started when Iraq hasn't done anything since the last time we bombed them. They have found no WMD, the war had no reason to it now that could have been applied before sept 11th.

The patriot act is taking away civil liberities and the prisoners in thingy bay are just terrible contradictions to what americans are suppose to believe in
