i havent' read more than a couple responses, so if something to this effect has been said already, sorry.
i'm liberal, but in the more moderate area. it really depends on the particular subject. anyways. i'm not "eager for the US to fail." well, i sort of am. let me explain. i think the direction the current administration has put us in is the wrong direction, that their policies are failing us, failing the american people. to make an analogy... the US is currently getting an A+ in raping little school girls and i would love to see us fail that. not a pretty analogy, but it pretty well sums up how i feel about what this administration has done to our country.
it seems to me (i'm just reading into things and making assumpitons though) that what you probably consider "liberals wanting the US to fail" is not that. it's that we think things are already going horribly astray and want things to change positively, and for that to happen bush needs to get out of office. things like body count and other things said (although i'm sure there are some on the fringes who have other motives for saying things) is to remember and keep people from forgetting what's going on, why, and what the results have been so far and that is why we need change.
my probably incomplete $.02, but that's enough for now.
