the outcome of the election

3) I have the feeling that if I was to go on a tiger hunt with these two men, Kerry would try to talk to the tiger, whereas Bush would shoot himself in the foot. On the whole, I would rather have the man who would at least try to shoot the tiger be in charge.

Shoot first, ask questions later. As long as we're left standing, who cares what happens to the rest of 'em...

There's a problem with your analogy. People aren't tigers. Even the terrorists, who I'm sure we'd all love to paint as unthinking, savage beasts out only to hurt us (they hate our freedoms, right?), are just a little more complex than that. You can't finish the war on terror by simply shooting everyone.

The question has been asked repeatedly but never answered: the Bush administration is in favor of attacking any and all countries which harbor Al-Qaeda -- does it worry anyone else that there are 60 or so countries on this list so far?

So now we have 4 more years of W. Four more years of the rich getting richer while the poor kids in america get sent to fight and die for oil in the middle east. Four more years of the constitution being trampled in the name of national security. Look at the Patriot act -- now imagine what Bush is going to do when he doesn't have to worry about getting re-elected.

I'm really glad I live in Canada.
