I appreciate your thanks but I wonder why you hold me responsible for Bush/Cheney when I did not vote for them nor approve of them or their policies, etc?

America is as diverse as any country. To say 'we voted the right way' is not exactly correct as there are still millions of those beasties you hate so much, the far-right Republican/Christians. To blame all of America for Bush is equal to thanking all of America for the current power shift, no? I can think of many, MANY Cellarites who voted Republican this Midterm.

Did YOU vote for Blair? Can I hold you responsible for him?
Shall I spew all my hatred for him at you? That seem right to you?

I really don't know why you're so agro, Brianna. I get blasted for being anti-American if I bash the Bush guvmint and now I get blasted because I thank America (rethorically) for showing him that it does not approve his policies. Your Yanks are really to sensitive....*sigh*....

No I didn't vote for Bliar, as I'm not a UK citizin. And you're free to bash Bliar any time, as far as me concerns and thanks to UT and Bruce.

Well, if you look at it that way, drinks are on me at the next garden/pool party

Years of weakness??

You might have a look at this list...

And btw... foreign policy is a little different to a bar brawl.
