I still love America and the and the ideals it was founded on. I donīt believe the Bush administration represent these ideals anymore than I believe the moon is green cheese. If you are one of these articulate, supposedly intelligent suckers falling for the propaganda shoveled down your throats, I hope you or your children are not of age for the draft. Luck and sympathy. Glad I already have an apartment over here in hippie peacenik old Europe.

It could be that those who voted for Bush went on with their lives and didn't fly to Chicago to bitch about the president. Actually, it is because Chicago was a very, very blue area and the president didn't get many votes there. But you knew that.
You also know that the terrorists wanted JFKerry to win or, more to the point, Bush to lose. While they were able to get their way in Spain--just had to kill a bunch on innocents to get their way there--their influence didn't work the same way here. I'll glad you like Spain--it's number one on my list of where I want to visit next, but I don't need your sympathy for living here.
