6. *Groan* Great, we get to see how much the world hates us
I always dread these trips abroad, not because of the protests and the furor directed at our countrys leaders, but because it is painful to see how fall we have fallen in the eyes of the world. While the rest of the world tries to progress, we are stuck moving in the opposite direction.

In my daily work, I deal with businesses all across the globe. In fact, I have made several close friends in the UK and in South Africa. I find myself apologizing to them on an almost daily basis because of something our "glorious" leader has done. They actually feel sorry for our country, when once they were in deep admiration.

We have to take back our country this year, for the sake of the world and our children.

Sorry for my rant, but some days you just can't fathom looking at what state our country is in.

8. In Budapest, they are removing cars.
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 10:35 AM by NYC
In Africa, they torn down slum housing that was on the route from the airport to where Bush was going.

In England, they tore up the garden.

Out of the way! Bush is coming through!

Sad.
