Yes I'm an American. I didn't know that the Scandinavian countries were against integration. The idea of a "unified" foreign policy with every member having veto power looks like a recipe for disaster. It would be like the UN, but worse. I can't imagine any sort of coherent foreign policy coming out of such an arrangement. Do you think it would be viable at a
A more pratical way to shoot down pork would be a line item veto ammendment.
This is a wonderful article.
Heheh that is rule #1 of office politics: When you suggest something, you get to do it.
Your link is broke. It seems to me that several European Countries do not want to give up their sovereignty, and that is the logical conclusion of increased European integration. Maybe France, Germany and friends should just go ahead and form their own country. They could call it the Unholy Roman Empire.
This is such a relief. I used to think that stupid people only lived in America.
The full faith and credit clause doesn't mean that every state would need to legalize gay marriage, but it is expected to force other states to recognize gay marriages performed in Massachusetts.
I have played EQ and SWG. I think EQ is the best. I have heard City of Heroes is fun, but isn't as deep as other MMORPGs. I have heard Dark Ages of Camelot is good if you like player versus player combat in a fantasy MMORPG. I am very much looking forward to EQ2. My experience is that most people only have time to seriously play one MMOG at a time.
That is troubling. The notion that the president is not bound by the 1994 anti-torture law is the opposite of the sentiment Ashcroft expressed in his testimony to Congress, where he basically said the law was a guideline to the administration.
both lincoln and roosevelt had the approval of their respective congresses. I'm pretty sure Lincoln did not have congressional approval for suspending habeus corpus. I think congress was in recess. <T

Kerry is in a tough position because most moderate voters support the war, but the liberal democrat base opposes it.
It is getting rediculous now. Sports is a good example. Most major stadiums in the US are named after corporate sponsors. On TV broadcasts, the pre-game show, halftime show, scoreboard, and post-game show all have official sponsors. Last year Peyton Manning got in trouble because he was wearing a hat that wasn't official NFL merchandise on a TV interview. Advertising is

im totally at a loss as to any other reason the tax industry attracts so many lawyers A major reason is that the tax code is several books long. It's crazy.
The following always causes a crash: 1. AI candidate gets US chamber of business endorsement. (This only seems to happen with Republican AI candidates) 2. I try to look at the endorsements screen. I noticed that normally there isn't a US chamber of business endorsement shown, although I remember it from previous versions.

Did the other side start getting endorsements? They tend to have a large effect nationwide. The only other thing I have seen with a significant nationwide effect is tv ads.
I read on Reuters that Labour did poorly in the recent local elections.
On behalf of the French, thanks Madine... thank-you a million times over for liberating Europe... you will note Chirac's statement - Democracy is a culture... one the French already possesed... My intention was not to gloat over the liberation of France <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALI
Re-Engage the United Nations: John Kerry believes that the United Nations must play a central role in the war on terror, and in combating other AIDS and global poverty. A Kerry Administration would seek to renew the mandate of the UN and also to reform its operations and revitalize its capacity. The United Nations will be seen as
As for your question about Saddam, what comes after him? Civil war in which perhaps tens of thousands die? Is Saddam worse than that? Yes he is, he killed about 500k people during his rule. On what basis do you think a civil war is a plausible scenario? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=ce
I think the headline is misleading. What Armitage seemed to be saying is that the US wouldn't neccessarily agree to whatever terms of "alliance" Australia wanted.

And would you agree with a prevailing opinion (and not just from Democrats) that America's higher moral position has been eroded under the Bush presidency There is a Fox News poll giving Bush a slight lead in the area of "foreign policy": Link I
