I purposely didn't take the test. I believe that it's probably informative for some. I know there are those who hate us.

America is a composite of many different views. Not everyone follows a specific party line and I think that most of the people that I've talked to do not think we will win any popularity contests in the rest of the world but at the same time, many overseas who criticize America might want to live here. Criticism is fine, though. It's an important part of our democracy.

There is nothing sacrosanct about any country in the world. History can make a case for many flaws in every government. The thing about the US though is that we still can agree to disagree without being arrested or persecuted by our own government. I hope to God that this doesn't change. There are these facistic tendencies in every government including ours.

Bush did not win by a landslide. He squeaked in through the Electoral College and an inept voting precedure in Florida.
His views do not represent all of America by a long shot.

It's my wish as an American that our country can take the lead in galvanizing the largest peace movement ever.
