New Democrat / Ex-Republican

Bush  the “shoot first ask questions later" President
 
Since WWII, the US culture has driven an international policy with the sole purpose of spreading democracy through out the world. I love democracy and this country, but other people and cultures throughout the world do not necessarily share our values.
 
Having traveled extensively around the world, I have observed other cultures first hand. Some value their thousands of years old culture which is based on community decisions from elders. Some value guidance from their god; while others thrive on individualism. Others yet find peace in socialism. There are as many values as there are cultures. 

The US way is best for the US. If others believe that our way of life is the best, they will choose to change, much like we did. We should lead by example ... not bulling ... and never by force, unless there is genocide, then act immediately not decades later.

But now like a zealot religion, the US is pushing democracy much like christians did during the Crusades.

Bush is incapable of understanding that our aggressive push to spread democracy is a de-stabling factor in the world. Kerry although hasn't talked about this, would be more likely to understand a more diplomatic route to lasting world peace than the “shoot first ask questions later" Bush.

Join me on November 2 and vote to boot King George II from his throne.
