I just want to see how much people really dislike George W. Bush.
Give me your thoughts on him.

Just go take a look at the "Presidents" thread in Truth... you pretty much have it all right there, both for and against.

Actually, I have no time for nationalism, the main cause of wars.
And the two most nationalistic, flag-waving countries on the planet are USA and China.
This does not bode well for the future.

I have not lived in Russia, but I would say that the average Russian is more concerned with obtaining a decent standard of living than with their country's global standing.
And perhaps it is more accurate to say that Americans are the most patriotic, while the Chinese are the most nationalistic.
The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does.
- U.S. journalist Sydney J. Harris

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. - Captain John Patrick Mason ( actually it was Oscar Wilde, but I heard it first from the good captain ).
As with any quote, they are not necessarily true, however, if this fact that Americans are the most patriotic, it would explain a lot of things, the Vietnam War, invasion of Iraq.
So, Americans, how does it feel, to be a nation which is always right, always know what is best for the rest of the world, irregardless of how the others think ?

I am not so sure. Besides, I think the same applies to US citizens (with word “decent” changed to something less decent). So, why do you think the Americans are more patriotic (whatever) than Russians?
Oh, and how about Englishmen?

IMHO that’s an attribute of any Empire (at least for 2000 years).

Of course, it's just that the Empire now is America, or so the Americans seems to think.

You may agree or not, but America is nowadays an Empire.
Not that I'm their advocate.

I agree, any country that influences other countries in the way they do, can only be considered en empire.
Hehe, here's a joke I picked up.
Tony Blair and John Howard are in seperate cars, driving out of George Bush's arse.
Q:Why can't Tony Blair get out of George Bush's arse?
A: John Howard is in the way.
Q:Why can't John Howard get out of George Bush's arse?
A: He can't see over the steering wheel.

It's another 30 days until my birthday, so I don't know why your not referencing to my age (for once). I'm 185cm so for me to see out over a Toyota 1991 Corolla Sedan (that's the car I bought from my dad), is a little silly. I have sat in the driver's seat to reach a few things and turn on the engine once or twice (shhh, that's illegal)  .

I like that quote.  , Just think, I was in the front row of all my photos for school until 4 years ago, now I'm back row centre (or 1/2 people away from it).
