I feel more and more distanced from Americans everytime i read the news. I also saw an article th eother day where Bush was quoted explaining why no one would be held accountable for the 'faulty' intelligence about wmds or the poor planning of the Iraq invasion. He said the American people had the chance to hold him accountable and they voted to keep so that means they approve of everything so therefore there is nothing to be held accountable for... or something like that. And as much as I think that is arrogant and ignorant and cowardly...the people did vote for him. They had their chance and chose to stay with this dangerous boy-king. My mom voted for Bush because she 'trusted him' or some childish reason. Now she can't understand why she can't get good health care coverage, and why her husband who suffers from macular degeneration probably won't have a cure in their lifetime because the most promising results for reversing that disease come from fetal stem cell research, but you can call off four more years of research on that. And when you try to explain something over and over but they don't listen you almost want to step back and say 'fine, see what happens you stick your finger in there.'
