Not everyone wants the American way of life!
Reader comment on item: Bush the radical

Its so sad that Bush in his bid to make everyone Americans, has never asked himself, ' Does everyone want to become Americans'. With its high crime rate which is the largest of any country on this planet. The murder rate in America was for one year over 11,000 people when the closest to that was 138 from a European country. Do people really want that? I would say NO. Rape in America is as American as apple pie. The youth in America have gone mad and getting worse everyday. The men and women here have no respect for themselves or no one else.

This is not the heaven that you try to make it seem like, and every one wanting to be like this. And now you want to be the police of the world and force the people of the world to either be like you or die, and when your own people disagree with what you are doing you call them anti-American and threatening them with jail and not being able to defend themselves.

Pres. Bush and his administration Rice, Powell and the whole game should be tried by a world court for the murder of 37,000 innocent people... .
