Foreign outcries about American politics – impacting the vote or pissing everyone off?

Anders writes about the norwegian ad against the Bush administration and the english call for action to sway voters in the US. The question, will it work or just piss everyone off?

Impacting the vote or pissing everyone off?

  1. Good arguments, good observations can help, regardless. (Particularly when these show awareness and provide persuasive contextualization for contrary observations… see geographic media disparity on search terms like “benon sevan”, “tedd peck, or “hassan nemazee” for example.)

    Merely asserting a position as a matter of belief may or may not be persuasive.

    It’s that usual “best antidote to free speech is better speech” angle, keeping in mind that “more speech” doesn’t necessarily correlate with “better speech”.

  2. Revealing of what? That the democrats have nothing to run on but Kerry’s specious Vietnam service, and that even uber-liberal Terry McAuliffe wouldn’t have the audacity to call Bush a flip-flopper. “Hey Kettle, it’s the Pot calling…” Next we’ll have Clinton calling Bush a philanderer. Laughable.

  3. For the last 200 years of our history, the USA doesn’t listen to others. Any why? Look at the UN and its oil-food corruption and its weak PC look at the world. It doesn’t solve problems because every nation has an agenda. It is a good thing that Afghanistan and Iraq will have democracy and not some stupid religion/dictatorship. You see most of the nations don’t want this to happen (ie., Iran, Syria, China…). It is hateful religions that has caused the Middle East to ‘burn’ for the last 5 thousand years. Stupid kings, princes, dictatorship and religious fools have made the masses enslaved with hatred.

  4. In all fairness Sheck, trusting Al Jazeera for unbiased news about what is going on in Iraq is like trusting Fox News for the same in America. Both organisations claim they deal with news, but most of the time they look more like propaganda networks.

    When it comes to body counts of the Iraq war I would much rather trust sources like Iraqbodycount.net. At the moment their count is at minimum about 13000 casualties, and maximum being around 15000.

    Thats still very high numbers for a war that was started for fictitious reasons.

  5. And when there was no war over there, Saddam killed 2 million. We could put him back in charge if the people of Iraq would feel more secure. I am also glad that Germany feels Iraq people don’t need any help until we have a new president. At least if they survive until the November elections. The war may have been falsely started but it’s happened and it’s here. People are still complaining about the last election so we should hear about this war for a good long time after it is over. I am curious how a doctor knows wether he is working on a civilian or a insurgent when they wear the same clothes.
