The Bush years was really years for the US - and for the world - and the consequences of his actions, will recoil for a least a decade or two - hopefully americans can elect a few sane presidents the next couple of election styluses - so it might be mended at least.... I for one was horrified about what he was able to do - and the damage he inflicted on the US... Damages that would take years maybe decades to repair... if it is posible to do it..
The US is a weird country - at one side it is a modern as the rest of the world, with well educated people, who know their stuff - but on the other side it have a ugly underbelly who is far from modern - almost middle ages I would say in a way - it is contractions of terms to even try to mean what the US is all about
For the moment I do not have any children, and it looks like it will be like this for a long time - anyway if I ever was to have a child or more, I would at least tell them to think about it before emigrate to the US - back in my own young years I also wondering about emigrate to the US - it was back in the day when Clinton was in office and US looks like it was a nice country to emigrate too - but for many reasons I was never to fulfill that plan - thankfully I was stuck here in Norway - and I would say it was maybe to the best, that I was not doing the emigrating thing
Scandinavia as a whole, is a great place to live i believe - rather peacefully - and economical stable - maybe not the most funky part of the world - but it does the trick - a stable part of the world - who also rank well on most studies for the last decade or so.. Not bad for a part of the world who was one of the poorest places back 100 or so years Many in US also have ancestry back to scandinavia - either Norway, Sweden or Denmark - or Finland (who strictly speaking is not part of scandinavia - but woes counting )
