Take France for instance. It's easy to say good for France, since they protested the war, if you were anti war. But take a look at the picture, and they were just as heavily involved in their own personal oil interests as the U.S. was, not to mention the involvement of it in supporting Iraq was only a different form of support from the U.S.'

what I think is funny is you have NO idea what life is like outside the US borders (hell you might not even know what it's like outside of Texas...or even San Antonio), yet you think there is some magical nation of happiness.

whether you want to believe it or not, the US is the best it gets in our world today.

Noted.

yes in FACT they WILL. Small businesses create 75 percent of all net new jobs in the U.S. If they have a fair shot in the market, they will grow. Corporation are having to lay off millions anyway! At least small businesses will no longer be going under with them.

ever heard of a man named Teddy Roosevelt? he was also a progressive candidate similar to Kucinich. His trust-busting of monopolies and small business growth had this country BOOMING.

Kucinich just wants to tax the fuck out of them, and repeal NAFTA and the WTO, and most importantly GET THEIR HANDS OUT OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, bring the power back to the people. Then put all this money our country has been wasting on War on Drugs, Iraq, Oil, Military Weapons and whatever god awful things and focus on the ecomony, education, jobs, environment and fuel effecient cars.

better for the long run? you bet your ass it will be.

Thedore Roosevelt is known as a devil in Latin America, and nobody is more opposed to NAFTA than them.
