The problem is the polls.

Most people were happy to see the US government and the people as being
separate.....as long as most people opposed invading Iraq.

But once the invasion started and approval (!!) went over 70%, it became
very hard to see any distinction any more.

Those of us who know Americans (who live in the US) personally also find
that we spend time having to argue the facts.......which often becomes the
ones we know that no one in the US has been told about.

Most American's support Bush. The ones that don't need to work a bit harder
and donate more money to support alternatives. Start by turning the TV
*off*.

There will be no easy road back to being a real democracy. You're going to
have to fight for it....and their may be personal costs associated with
that.

Above all - integrity is required. It is abuindantly clear that at the
highest levels in the US government there is no integrity.

None....and Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans.

If the US had a genuinely democratic electoral system, none of this would be
happening.

"Naturally, the common people don't want war;
neither in Russia nor in England nor in America,
nor for that matter in Germany.
That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy and
it is always a simple matter to drag the people
along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist
dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same way
in any country."

Apparently BBC doesn't think it's news either.
