Ewan- What do Greeks Say abt us Elections ?

Greeks want the Republicans out, They think that Bush is nothing but a total idiot. They have lost all respect for the US as a political entity but not for it's people. They see the US govt as fear-mongering and more than just a little bit imperialist. The Bush administration is particularly to blame for the current energy prices and for the major threat to world peace. Greek are great lovers and students of history and as such many believe that if McCain wins the world will not be far from falling into a third world war in order to save the American economic situation.

Not sure I agree with all of that but I do agree when they accuse the US of perpetrating globalization and consequently the loss of individuality and diversity. I also do not see why the US has to stick its nose into every little domestic squabble going on all around the world.

One thing that constantly amazes me is how much censorship is going on in the US since 9/11. I mean, we get all of the worlds television stations, and the way that Americans are being kept in the dark about the world around them is very scary. If the average citizen in the US was able to see what we see, the Bush administration would have been forced to resign in the first term.

We, Greeks, know that when push comes to shove that the US will NOT be on our side against any of our political enemies. So what, in a nutshell we want, is someone that will stop trying to make the world in their image so that the world can live in peace and each country can maintain its own identity and not be 'little Americas'.

I'll get off my political soap box now.
