Well, gosh, Sandy - "Some food for oil thing"? The largest fraud ever perpetrated is "some food for oil thing"? And it has nothing to do with what Bush did or did not do. You've used this as a convenient excuse to bash Bush again, just because you can. Annan has been a disgrace and doesn't deserve any support. Cheers, Daiwa
Good Man, Good Choice. Cheers, Daiwa
Have to disagree with you there, kingbee. Jefferson & the signers weren't submitting a list of justifications for the approval of any external entity. The founders were from the "gentleman" school which obliged them to offer to the world the reasons they were embarking on secession from England. I'm sure they hoped that the Declaration would garner external sympathy & support for their actions, but the revolution was a done deal.<BR
I see nothing out of the ordinary with this turnover. These jobs are brutal; I sure wouldn't want any of them. Cheers, Daiwa
Seems you guys don't have much faith in the system, thinking that a naturalized citizen would be able to fool everyone all the way to the White House, then switch sides or not hold America's interests uppermost. Suppose a Cuban family snuck into the US illegally and had a child here who was raised entirely in a Cubano community that maintained close ties with extended family members in Cuba. That individual would eventually be eligible to run for Pre
Arizona's schizophrenic like that, too. Republican everything except Governor. Cheers, Daiwa
I wonder if US is alone when it insists that its own interests outweigh those of the UN. The UN has no interests but those given to it by the member nations (other than the scams run by its corrupt staff) and no nation should be subservient to it in matters that it considers central to its
Doubt any such resolution will ever see the light of day. After more than a decade of paying lip service to resolving the horrible human suffering and defiance of UN resolution after resolution under Saddam they're offended that someone shat rather than got off the pot, inconveniently interrupting the gravy train they had going. Well, tough titties. Just another bit of political maneuvering by Annan, who is a despicable individual. I'm personally a
The UN leadership under Annan is a disgrace. We should be far more concerned about that than being "embarrassed" by President Bush as people like COL Gene like to claim. Time Annan's nuts were held to the fire. Cheers, Daiwa
drmiler - There's just one problem. Substitute the word terrorist for the word Muslim and the list makes sense. As you well know, the majority of Muslims are peace-loving and do not support the terrorists. I admit that don't actively oppose them as much as I might like, but our beef is not with Islam, it is with the radical terrorists, most of whom happen to be Muslims. The more people substitute the word Muslim for terrorist, the
Only problem is Corzine would appoint his own successor in the Senate if he wins the governorship and will stay in the Senate if he loses. So nothing will change until at least the end of Corzine's current Senate term. Cheers, Daiwa
This administration does not understand playing well with others, hence our all time low standing in world affairs. Care to quantify that with anything other than opinion? Cheers, Daiwa
JenPie - I said I like the guy and I've said elsewhere that people like Obama are the future if the Dems are going to have one, but there is a big difference between a stint in the state legislature (no offense to the great State of Illinois) and success on the national level. If he does as well as his background suggests he will, he has tremendous upside, but let's be realistic about the timing of his annointing with oil. Cheers,<BR
Insightful to picto. Nice job. Cheers, Daiwa
Figures dabe would love it. Now watch. Cheers, Daiwa
How enlightening. Cheers, Daiwa
Bye, Gene. Don't bother leaving a forwarding address. Cheers, Daiwa
Oh Kay... ya got me. Musta been late, musta been tired. Cheers, Daiwa

I don't know. I have this feeling that naturalized citizens have more invested in citizenship (and a greater knowledge of our system of government in many cases) than many of us born here, and in a way cherish citizenship all the more because it was a choice. They at least had to pass a test! I'm not afraid of the idea the way some are. Lot of work to amend the Constitution,
What kills me is that these people that cheated did so because of their belief in God, and that God wants Bush in office, or that Bush represents Christian morals. So you interviewed this gentleman and ascertained his reason(s) for "cheating"? And interviewed all the other people you didn
I see no fundamental policy difference between vouchers and Pell grants. What's not to like? Cheers, Daiwa
Actually, I call lots of people older than me "kids," but I understand the context you are referring to, TW. Cheers, Daiwa
I find Obama personally attractive, but he's yet to serve one day in Congress, so let's hold off on those "first black president" predictions till he has at least a little track record. The Dems would not do themselves a favor by simply latching onto him as the second coming just because he's mixed black and won an election against Alan Keyes. There has to be more to him than a marketing ploy for him to be taken seriously. Cheers, Daiwa<
Spare us the chicken little "sky is falling" shit. You don't speak for President Bush. And just because some religious bigot from Lauderdale pops off and some reporter from ABC is dumb enough to take it seriously doesn't make Bush the lap dog of the Christian Right. When will you guys get off this crap? Kennedy is a bigot who speaks only for himself. I'm glad, I suppose, that you think Bush is so powerful, but he can't "implement" any of the stuff
