Piratis is absolutely right, and you militades are an idiotic idealist. The bush administration cares about human life? Since when? They did not have any scruples invading a sovereign country that lead to the death of around 600,000 people.
Oh, but the great American constitution. The American constitution, dear millitades, has been reduced to a worthless piece of paper by Patriot Acts I and II. Bush can today declare any citizen a traitor, an enemy combatant or a terrorist and keep him in Guantanamo bay indefinitely. The once great American nation has now become a bunch of easily manipulated nationalist mob that is willingly giving up its civic liberties and believes anything that the corporate media feeds it.
The Bush administration, just like any other government, follows its own interests and their doctrine today is that of the New American century - that of total domination over the rest of the world. It is ridiculous to kiss Bush's ass in the hope that he will somehow help you unify Cyprus. Bush does not care about you, he does not care about me, he does not care about ordinary Americans. He cares about his power, and the interests of his oil companies. It is as simple as that. And for him the lives of 3,000 Americans are wothless in comparison to the vast oil reserves in the Middle East. He wants to control them, and that is why he occupies Iraq and Afghanistan.
