I talk to Jamie and my friends, and parents about politics quite a bit...at least about the campaign races and the candidates and for the last couple of months I think I could have told you that if I were allowed to vote (not a citizen) I would vote for Bush.

if people say they are against Bush just because "The war is wrong" they havent looked far enough into it, or even tried to think about it. The war was wrong, because our initial issue with Iraq was we felt they were violating UN orders not to have weapons of mass destruction. Then we, hypocritically, ignore the UN's vote, the very organization whose rules we purported to be enforcing, to go into Iraq to depose Saddam and instill democracy (though apparently Americans only believe in democracy when it suits our own needs, not when we are a memeber of the UN and they disagree with us), and hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
The problem here is that BUsh acted to move into Iraq DESPITE the fact that the UN, the world-governing body, voted against doing so. We are not above the UN, we are supposed to be a respectful, participating member of it. The war is wrong, because we should not have gone in without working out a proper agreement with the UN.

Oh and your friend who speaks of mindless robots, needs to learn how to spell. And actually, since he thinks Kerry is a sketchball (clearly what most Bush supporters think because whatever Bush says, MUST be true,) he should go here and learn how Bush has twisted his words, before making an uneducated vote, or accusation. http://www.factcheck.org/article269.html

The problem with so many young people is that they do not bother to research these things. They actually BELIEVE everything the candidates say about one another. You have to learn for yourself what is true, and then make an informed decision.
