It is not Bush specifically who deserves the "credit". What we are experiencing is the tip of the iceberg of a much larger agenda choreographed by this man (who, just like Bush, is a cog in a larger wheel): |
host, with due respect, Bush's agenda might seem evil to some on a geo-political scale; you might think the guy is bent on world domination, but what has this got to do with personal freedoms experienced by the individual in America? If you are referring to the War, ok, Rove & Co. do their best to sell the war to the public, that's their job, and people either buy it or they don't, but what has this to do with individual freedoms? For example, do you know how difficult it is in Russia to travel from Moscow to Siberia, as a unescorted private citizen? You need a extensive portfolio of documents and bureaucratic clearances that takes weeks if not months to clear. You need to plan ahead. The same goes for China and Iran. In America, you get in your car (or plane) and go wherever the hell you want. This is only one example. Whats all the fuss about individual freedoms being trod upon in America? Are we talking about racial inequality??
Where else in the world is a society more open or free??
