what about appealing to the United Nations for help?
I mean, we have totally flicked off international law and international law bodies like the UN. Bush Admin wants them to be irrelevant.

But, now we ARE a ROGUE NATION. So, how about asking them to bring their peacekeepers to invade and take over this country and get Bush out???

Wishful thinking maybe especially considering we have veto power. BUT, if all our troops are in Iraq how can we even defend ourselves?

I'm all for this. Let's get the ball rolling?

2. Don't worry, though, if Bush invades another country, you better believe
we will be attacked by the majority of other big nations, unable to defend ourselves and hopefully we will be defeated! Sad to say, but it's the only way to get these people out of our government!

7. we'll be attacked economically
1) Countries that tie their currency to the value of the dollar (China is the big one...) would change to tying it to the Euro.

2) Other nations would stop buying US Treasuries, forcing us to raise interest rates to get buyers. When nobody still buys them, we'll raise them even more or the dollar will collapse completely.

3) Tariffs on US goods would be raised.

4) Japan & China starts calling in their debt.

you name it, they'll do it.

4. How about the CSCE observers?
(Council on Security and Cooperation in Europe)

Their observers were invited here by none other than Colin Powell! Wonder what they have to say?

5. Kerry's stance with the UN
Is one of the biggest reasons he lost!!!!

The UN is more corrupt than the Bushco (if thats possible).

6. Um, if you didn't notice..
George W. Bush got a majority of the popular vote.

He won. The people chose him. Like it or not.
