I'd like to ask you some questions

We will not able to use our ballot in November but we are concerned by the American vote. Because if the president of the USA is not the President of the world, the world is involved by his decisions.

I know you're DUers and day after day I ask myself if you're reprensative of the American population but you represent for me the top of the basket ("le dessus du panier" in French).

1) Why the American voters could be more than 50% for Bush then he'd get only less than 20% in the rest of world (less than 10% in France, Spain, Poland...) except in Israel with 43%.
Many of you explain with the american mind pollution by mass media. But I can't agree with this explanation because it means at least 100 million of American are deeply stupid and that's statically impossible (I hope so).

2) Why if these almost 50% believe in Bush for a stronger America do they consent to a policy of weakness ?
The American fiasco in Iraq is so important that your country is not able to envision an intervention anywhere in the world anymore, justified or not.
Some examples : Pyongyang has just canceled all the meetings about the North-Korean nuclear weapons and called Bush "idiot" et "little Hitler". He didn't react, the USA lied down. Iran, about the same issue, shows its long range missiles into a massive military parade, and it says it will not hesitate to use them in a first strike. The USA lies down.
Sharon decides to increase the israeli implantations in Cisjordania. The map road defended by Bush is out, but the USA lie down and ratify.
We're going to stop there.

3) Why almost 50% of the American people vote like they was rich ?
Health policy, social policy, taxes policy, employment policy... All the Bush's decisions seem to be a disaster for a great majority of them. Absolutely unthinkable for us.
