In case anyone was wondering, Apple have not changed the DAAP authentication with this new version of iTunes. So my various iTunes apps for linux, etc still work.

First of all, I'm not European, I'm Canadian (in case you don't know, that's the country that's on top of yours - if you keep going north, you can't miss us). Second of all, Bush made his money as an oil man, and I'm willing to bet that he is sitll an oil man, and will always be an oil man, so talking about Bush and his deceptive policies about why he should invade other countries with massive amounts of oil is DIRECTLY on topic about the depletion of the oil reserves in the world.

I'm proud to be a Canadian. I think it's sad that you have to attack my character in order to try and make a point (or one-upmanship if you will). Furthermore, in case you don't know the history of the rest of the world (since I have an idea of what you school system is like), Canadians were involved in the Second World War long before the Americans were in it, and the only reason why you guys got involved was Pearl Harbor. Also, Nazi is not a language, it was a political party in Germany in the early 1900 (but as an American, I wouldn't expect you to know this).

The only reason why the American president has a "stranglehold on the world" is simply becuase they have the greatest military army in the world. No other country (other than possibly Britain) has a military budget even comprimable to that of the U.S. I'm willing to bet that the think-folk in Washington were sitting around one day going "Man, we spend 40 quad-billion dollars a year on the military. How can we justify that to the American people?" "Hey! Let's start a war!!" "Hey, great idea! Dad, you got anybody you want offed?" "Sure son...you know who, this time, let's get him for sure!" "But wait, we don't really have a reason to go after them, besides their oil, and the People won't like that idea." "Well, I do hear that they have some major Weapons of Mass Destruction..."

The U.S. was so fearful of the Soviets in the cold war (Commies, Commies Everywhere!!) that they felt it necessary to instill such a fearfulness in its population so that they would only support more and more military spending. The only problem with that is, the rest of the world curtailed its spending on the military (prolly cuz they couldn't affort it) while the U.S. just kept on blaring ahead. I don't think you kick ass at all. Unless you call bullying the rest of the world into a war that nobody but the Presidente of the good ol' Texas shoot-em-ups really wanted, kickin ass. If anything, YOU sound like that poor little boy who had a social problem growing up and now feel like it's your moral duty to act it out on the rest of the world. Yay...you go girl!

Finally, that movie you pointed me at only reinforces what I believe in Michael Moore. If he ends up taking out Bush because of that movie he made, I'll only be too glad, since I will consider his work done. You know? Maybe he does have a secondary agenda towards wanting to remove Bush from office, and that's why he made the film and is releasing it in an election year. Doesn't sound any worse than invading a foreign country to find "WMD" that don't exist. Talk about a second, hidden agenda.

Go ahead and reply if you want. I'm not being dragged down into your depth to have a war about what country is better or not. Your country has fucked up values, believes only in money and self-worth, and don't give 2 shits about anyone else but yourself. I'm willing to wager that I know a hell of a lot more about the U.S. (and the rest of the world for that matter) than you know about anything outside your state. Obviously you qualify to be the driver of the handbasket on it's journey to hell...
