Unfreep the BBC's "Have Your Say"
BBC online runs a regular "speak your mind" column. The one at :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/3808299.stm

has the topic, "Is Bush's policy hurting America's standing in the world?". It concerns the statement by 26 high ranking US government officials that Bush's foreign policy is hurting the US' standing in world opinion.

Unfortunately, a lot of pinheads are posting opinions "representing" the US. Take some of these, for example:
--------------------------------------------------------

"The views here represent the bottom dwellers of American society. Only pure traitors in this country could truly wish for its destruction. As for the rest of the world, you should fear; Americans now realize that you are not our friends.
Matt, USA"

For every one disgruntled "government official" ... there are 10,000 that support and agree with President. They just don't make the news!! The strength to do the right thing, however unpopular at the time, will be recorded favourably in the history books.
TM, Virginia, USA

This is such a typically BBC forum, an excuse to give voice to America-haters; to promote Michael Moore's movie (despite indifference in the U.S.); to advance the Kerry campaign; and simply to further the BBC's leftist world view. ...
-----------------------------------------------------------

Anyone from DU who wishes to post contrary views should feel entitled to do so.

1. Comment from this 'bottom dweller'
"George W. Bush is not only the worst president in American history, but a war criminal as well. Anyone who believes otherwise is not familiar with the UN charter, the terms of which our administration has recklessly ignored.
The doctrine of so-called "pre-emptive" self-defense is a myth and wholly lacking in any noble purpose. If history has any conscience it will expediently put Mr. Bush and his cohorts in jail for a long, long time."

2. It's finally beginning to sink in on the Freeps.
There's a whole world out there, boys, and it's against bu$h. You'll have to stay awake for years to try and Freep all the librul media on this planet. Good luck and keep your Nazi Meth dry.
