I think the USA IS controlling the world. But I think it's a mistake to say that american presidents or politicians are controlling the other countries. In the USA -and in many other countries, too- multinational corporations are the ones who rule the things. Actually, all the important right-wing politicians, like Bush or Kerry, own one or more of these corporations. And, of course, they want MONEY, and if somebody wants money more than anything else, he/she can't be a good president. It's simple:
Bush wants money. Bush makes war with Irak, so he gains money from petroleum and weapon commerces. Some Americans are happy because they think Bush is defeating terrorism -although he is increasing it. Then these people votes Bush again, and Bush becomes rich, rich and rich, while innocent civilians in Irak become poor, poor, and dead. And some people keep on thinking that he only wants good things for the world.
And I want to say to final things:
1.To the people who vote Bush, Kerry or any other right-wing party in any country: the dictionary says that right-wing means capitalist. And capitalism is only good for rich people, so if you are not rich, don't vote them.
2.To the people who think that terrorists do bad things because they are bad: nobody will hurt you if you don't give them any reason to do it.
