Well, let me give two notes.
1.Most Norwegians, though not all mind you, are left winged and there for are quite tired with both their own (right winged) goverment, that goverments support of Bush and the present US president and his war on terror.
2. I grow my own :)

The big question is, where is all the W.O.M.D. Bush and Blair used as
a reason for the invasion ??? Loads of great guys has lost their lifes
because two "big shots" "assumed" there was W.O.M.D. spread all over
Iraq. Look at Iraq today, the two B's opened the biggest can of worm
in history. It's gonna take a long, long time for these poor people to get back to normal.
Anyway, this is only my opinion

A lot of americans still think that they actually found WOMD in Iraq! It's unbelievable! One of them is my stepfather's aunt; ok, well, she knows now, but we were there this last christmas, and she thought they'd found WOMD there! And guess which news she listens too? Fox News!
I read somewhere that apparently, over 50% of those who reported Fox News as their main news channel, actually believed that they'd found WOMD in Iraq -- this was no more than a year ago!

I just think that the US goverment has pushed their propoganda concerning pot way too far, which has created a backlash in the american people. The latest survey showed 49% of the country in favor of legalising it completely. Canada is at 56% if I remember correctly - and both percentages are growing for every year that passes. We're far behind in Norway.

Seriously, you can complain as much as you want about Bush, as he's pretty much an idiot, but trying to claim he's a murderer only proves what ignorant fools you are.
Do you people have any idea what Iraq was like under Saddam? Do you have any idea how many people he's killed? Do you know anything at all about the condition in Iraq over the past 25 years, or are you all just naive hypocrites?
Saddam was part of the religious minority, thereby dominating and oppression the religious majority, not to mention the kurds. It's estimated that he killed in excess of one million people during his reign. So by complaining about the war started by US, you're basically saying you support genocide. If the US can, at some point, manage to stabilize the situation in Iraq and establish a functional democracy, the war will be well worth the lives lost. If America hadn't intervened, Saddam would continue to reign, and his sons would continue after his death. In the long run, fewer lives will be lost, and the quality of life will improve for most Iraqis, assuming the situation stabilizes within the next decade.
All in all, I don't care about Weapons of Mass Destruction, I don't care about America's excuses about going to war, nor do I care about terrorists being killed. The civilian casualities of war, and American soldier who died fighting in Iraq is a price worth paying for getting rid of a genocidal dictator, and trying to establish a democracy in a country that would otherwise continue to experience oppression and murder at the hands of its own government. In your petty hatred of America, you fail to realize the fact that in the long run, Iraq will probably benefit from establishing a democracy, even though the current situation is unstable.
And all this, coming from someone who can't stand America...

Oh sure, 'we are just trying to help out' - since when do the US protect anything else than their own interests? The fact of the matter is, had Mr. Bush gotten the consent of the UN and done things properly, people would be happy. But this is just plain wrong. The US is NOT the world police, and should _not_ operate against other States, but rather respect their right to sovereignty.
'But think of the future', you say. Think of what this will accomplish in 'the long run'. Well, that might be true, for Iraq. But if this incident, together with the one in Afghanistan, fucks up USA's trust and relationship to the rest of the world - bringing uncertainty, fear and hatred against the states - what have we accomplished then?
I for one will never support USA's stupid actions. Invading another state by false claims is what I would call a stupid action. 'Invade first - make up reasons later'.

Well, there's really not much to say about that comment, except that I would consider framing it and hanging it on my wall. Or perhaps getting a nice old lady to embroider it onto my pillow set. You know, sort of like that old Midwestern idiom.. "Fool me once-- shame on you-- fool me-- a fooled man can't get fooled again."
Peace

Well spoken dormouse.
Being 50% american myself and from my experiences living there (Seattle and Livermore, CA) America is really divided between liberals (minority) and the massive number of republican supporters. You have the conservative republicans, who consider themselves intellectuals and claims to have a critical point of view concerning politics, but swallows the propaganda from Bush & co without question. Instead of questioning US Government ethics, they participate in protests against Cannabis.
The image USA is exporting is far different from the internal situation there, I know this from personal experience. They export violence, sex & drugs in hollywood style, whilst on national TV it's not allowed to show an ass. (yet Bush still gets so much media cover?) Double moral? [/sarcasm]
We should get as many right-wing conservatives as possible to attend Cannabis activist meetings, but how?
Sincerely, ex-american.
