"United"...I think not
About the Author
Where does Iran's so called President get off trying to tell us what to do?? Does he really expect us to do what Iran tells us to. A country where the people gather in the streets weekly to chant "death to amrica!" If anything that move will just create more support for the war in Iraq. If Iran wants us out of there then people are going to think that there is some reason for us to be there. Why else would he want us to leave?
Ill give him that our foriegn policy isnt the best that it could be (its not even close) but there is no way that he can do anything about it. He can claim that he doesnt have plans for weapons of mass destruction and what not or complain to the American people but he cant do a damn thing about anything. If Iran wants to be a world power then their "president" needs to start using his head.
let them chant their pathetic chants. They will never get what they want because they are a bunch of COWARDS who tremble at the thought of a war but have no problem pushing for one.
If they want to be that way then i say "death to iran!"

This is for all of you people who want to criticize me me about the fact that I am Indepadant and not registered to vote. Well let me clear this up for you. I am 17. I am not old enough to vote. But believe me...the moment i turn 18 I will register.
Now for the challenge. For those of you that want me to be a Democrat. Tell me something good that the Democrats have done WITHOUT mentioning the Republicans or anything bad about them that you can actually prove. All politics is these days is throwing insults at each other. I want to know something good about Democrats instead of hearing you all complain about the Republicans.
So heres the deal. Leave a comment on this post and tell me something good about the Democrats. Prove me wrong in my thinkong of being an Independent.

For more than two hudred years this country has pushed forward the idea that we are "united" as long as we call ourselves Americans. We refuse to believe that anything can separate us from each other. We thought that Communism could so we went to war to try and defeat it. Then we thought that terrorism could; so we went to war with it. But most people are unable to see what is in our country that is separating us. And that is the political parties. The Republicans and the Democrats are doing everything they can to defeat the other. What no can see is that it is dividing our country more than any outside force possibly could.
For centuries political parties have tried to win the support of potential voters. The main goal of the party was to defeat the other party. In more recent years the strategy has turned more and more to insulting each other and and making bogus promises that no one intended to keep in the first place. They shy away from the real issues and use every opportunity possible to say that they are better than the opposing party and then they never say why! With each insult thrown, the country becomes a little more divided.
George Washington once felt that political parties would do more harm than good and would eventually destroy the country. I can only agree with that partially. I'll reach my point a little further on. Over the years there has been more fighting about what should be done instead of actually doing something. Things that have needed to get done by a certain time weren't done until it was no longer needed. If Congress and our government can't even be united how can it expect our country to be?
I'm not saying that we need to get rid of political parties. But instead use them differently. I am fine with the polititans being in a party. It keeps the elections from getting out of hand and lets you know what it is you are voting for. It is the voters that need to change. The voters need to loss the idea of belonging to a political party. They need to look at both candidates with out automatically favoring one or the other and actually make up their own mind. If everyone thought for themselves instead of what the Democrats or Republicans tell them to think then elections could turn out completely different.
I dont see this happening in the near future or possibly ever happening. I can see in my generation -the teenagers- that we are able to think more clearly for ourselves and that we make up our mind on who we like for office and who we don't like. I can say that when it does; the country will actually be able to take on the title of being the United States of America.
