1) gw might not be a racist, but you can't tell me you honestly believe he cares as much about those living in squalor as he does his rich friends and family (many of which constantly shove $$$ in his direction). i think that's a fair statement.

2) don't know that you'd say it's the pot calling the kettle black, some of those that don't have insurance might actually have legitimate reasons for not having it or simply not being able to afford it, especially health insurance, but at least they are legal residents?

3) agree with you there for the most part, but like paul had pointed out earlier, even those that do the hard jobs are finding it more difficult to land them because the fact of the matter is, illegal immigrants almost always will be willing to get paid less in order to get that job.

7) personal opinion or not the fact of the matter is, iraq and iraqi citizens didn't have it that bad! if you want bad, and tyranny and overall chaos, go take a look at about 90% of african countries, makes iraq look like disneyland compared to some hotbeds of craziness in africa. but as myself and others have discussed previously, there is next to NOTHING to gain from helping out the poor and dying there, so that's why you won't see the US (or any other nation for that matter) ever dumping that kind of money or effort into a "saving the world" project and to establish a democracy there.
+1 for good responces. only two i will comment on

1.) only god, bush, and his accountant can say for sure. i feel majority of the people who think he is like this believe it because he is republican. and because he doesnt go to the lengths that, say clinton, did to show how he values the other races. i mean, if Bush moves to Harlem like Clinton did, would you retract your statement? fun fact tho, go look up the cost Clinton spent for his "office" there. how many families could have been helped in that same neighborhood. i will say this tho, in politics, money gets you heard. but noone can say that the marshal law wasnt called for, and that they did get help.

7.) that may be true, but most african nations are not in a position to become a threat to us. let the US intellegence get wind of the THREAT of wmod's in an African country, and that they hate America, and see how fast we go in there.
