War what is it good for? Though I may be just a simple unarmed Canadian, I feel that I have the right to speak my opinion. George W. Bush sounds like a warmonger but is he? He also sounds like a good Christian man. To me he is like any man no better no worse. But what makes him tick? I don't know. A lot of Americans are being killed over there, and there is nothing that I can do about it. If I had some money, I would go over there, wearing a Canadian flag as my shirt, I would talk to the people, and try to make peace.

Is the United States in there for the Oil? What is their reason? Is it for freedom, and democracy? Why can't they find this Osman bin Laden? Christ with all the modern gizmo's out there, they can't find this guy? I personally don't like this world the way it is now. If I could swallow a pill and die, I would. This is not a good world. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. There are so many people in the United States without health care, living on the streets. Yet there are those with enough money to stop the hungry, feed the hungry, house the homeless. But they won't; they have one million, and striving to get their second million. Stop and think, you could stick out your thumb and go across the country, now you stick out your thumb, and someone will kill you.

We need to say enough is enough. Let's try to be good to each other, help each other, and those in need, reach out to those that you know with food, a blanket, money, a place to sleep. Is it that hard to do?

If there is a God, I wish he could make things right. If I had the money, I would change the world. But I don't have enough to look after my own problems in life. That is why we need peace in this world. As you probably have guessed, I am not the best writer; my spelling and grammar both suck. Yet I have been to university. Go figure, I love to write, and to talk to people.

Prior to the September horror where thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives, where was the government to protect these people? Bush shut down all the airports and allowed Bin Laden or whatever his name is to flee the country. And remember on Television when Bush was speaking to kids in a classroom and was told about the terrible event. What did he do? Instead of saying good bye to a bunch of children. He continued to talk to them as if there was nothing wrong. He has money so he does not care. How many companies did Bush have before he became President of the United States bankrupt? Many I would say, but who cares. You care and you showed your displeasure in the previous election whereas you voted in a President that I personally believe to be a very good choice for all Americans not just the rich. I wonder though with the help financially of Oprah Winfrey with her financial backing how he did overcome all of the problems of cash to run an election. Without her help he would not of made it. Yet she helps rich kids in Africa, she does nothing for the poor kids and she has more money then God himself has.
