A Soldier

We helped engineer a US-led coup? I don't see how this is revelant to the topic and it looks a lot like projection to me. If it can re!@#$%^&*ures you, our current government is having a lot of trouble having canadians' support and there is a good chance that it'll lose the next elections (not only because of Haiti, altough it is probably a factor). To answer your question, Dav brought up some good points and I also believe nothing special should be done at the moment. It's not like there were massive human rights abuse or he was planning to invade a country. Your argument about the population being too lazy to get a job doesn't make sense. A good portion of africans and asiatics would be, using your logic, a lot lazier than we think?

as it has been said here before, your government attempted to remove Chavez out of power twice. First time in 2002, by supporting a right-wing party who tried to topple him militarly (coup failed). Second time in 2004 by democratic mean, a referendum, and financing it (failed again). Where do you see totalitarism? Hugo Chavez said he'd help the poorest part of the population to get healthcare, food, etc. The richs are pissed because they don't get as much as they had with the last government. If he's trying to bring more social equality in his country, what's wrong with that? I don't get the genocide part? Please prove me that there is a link between Chavez's government and the FARC

geese... and you're running for mod of this section? His first point about democracy could be debated, if we exclude the neo-conservative part, which I do not agree on. The US has been promoting democracy for a long while now. It's cool, personnally, I don't think authoritarian regimes are the best out there. The problem is how you are promoting it, simply put.

not trying to say he's right or anything, but instead of trying to make everyone who does not agree with you look stupid, why don't you back your claims with facts instead of insults?

ok, I wasn't sure, my mistake. Personnally, to answer your post, I think it would have been better to stabilize the country before having elections. Sorry I can't elaborate more, I have to go I'll try to next time

I wouldn't be surprised if most of them stay in the secure area. And considering observers were watching the election from jordania... An other thing: can you really give a voter's turnout right after it ends? 60% is good, but I thought you usually give it after all the votes have been compiled, no? Or is it an approximation?

That's not what the reports say

There is a slight difference between since the occupation started and today, no?

My question is mostly aimed toward americans, but feel free to answer even though you're not. A poll was released yesterday showing the dissatisfaction of a majority of americans concerning war and Iraq and Bush's job. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=347784 What about you? Let's say you were called, what would you have answered to their questions? As of right now: Is war in Iraq worth it? Is Bush handling the situation in Iraq? Is Rumsfeld doing a good job? What about the elections? Should they be held at the end of January? Bring troops home or wait until order is restored? Should Rumsfeld be replaced? Do you think there has been progress toward restoring peace?

yeah, it's a matter of time. off topic: http://www.whitehouse.gov/holiday/ (?)

saw that yesterday Incredible how narrowminded some people can be thank god not all americans think like the dumb blonde

You can't do that... You're letting us, evil foreigners, take control over this board? Even though I did not agree with most of your posts, at least you had the decency to keep the flaming to a minimum so, yeah... later dude.

lol!!!

Sigh... Well, all I can say is that I hope Mr. Bush takes a more moderate at-*BAD WORD*-ude for the next four years. Should have had posted this link earlier http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/....bushforum.html
