Nitiya: OK, can I ask you something? What do you think about Bush?
Todd: What do I think about Bush?
Nitiya: Yeah.
Todd: Well, I didnt vote for him. (OK) I didnt vote for him in the last two elections. He, in my opinion, is too conservative. Im from a part of America, San Francisco, were a lot liberal in our thinking, and I think Bush lost my city 85 to 15 (%), so Im not a big fan of President Bush. I believe in democracy, and I believe in the system, but its not easy when the person who gets in office is not the person you want to be there. Its very frustrating.
Nitiya: OK, OK, what I actually meant to ask is, the Iraq war, and things like that, Iraq war not only affected Iraq, it affected a lot of those military army people of America (right) their wives and children back home. They dont know if their father is going to come back or not (right) I mean not only affected total Iraq it was a very bad affect on America, too. I mean people, who ever loved America, there are so many people now who have a so bad image of America because of one, this, and I consider it a very, very insensitive action of Bush, so what do you think about that?
Todd: Well, I pretty much agree with everything you said. Its tough. I mean, I dont, obviously you dont, I wasnt for having Saddam Hussein remain in power, or, but it bothers me that my country is doing actions where children can die, or babies can die, or even soldiers can die.
Nitiya: I mean Saddam Hussein is in power or not, why is Bush interfering in that? He can mind his own business, right? I mean, I just feel sometimes, when Bush sleeps in the night, doesnt he feel some sensitivity or guilty to even one person that, when you see that those bombs, those small kids dying, and you know, whole bloodshed, how can even he sleep, with peace. I just sometimes wonder.
Todd: No, and actually thats one, thats one criticism that he, that people even have in America, a lot of people in America have of him is that he, does he know, does he really feel the pain that people are dying, children are dying, and yeah, its a tragic situation, and...
Nitiya: And I think, there is one thing, I really feel that, there is always two parts of this whole story, I mean, we are seeing it with our civilian eyes, but the truth, none of us know. Its all politics. I mean, Saddam knows and Bush knows and we know nothing, its like that
Todd: Well, I agree 100% with that.
