[Jon Miller]

and that all went well

big businesses interestse were enhanced

the republican party did well

Absolutely not. The current policy in Iraq is a working policy and I give you scorn for suggesting otherwise. We didn't break anything. Iraq was already broken. And it isn't mine. It is the people of Iraq.

I collect scorn. It's a hobby of mine. I have scorn from the left, scorn form the right. It's a beautiful collection.

Iraq is yours to bleed over, until they can replace you without descending into a fundamentalist hell.

was it broken in 93?

I agree that after making it so Saddam couldnt' rule parts of the country, and the oil embargo, it was broken

but before, how was it different from China?

or other first world freindly authoritative nations?

I'm not sure what you mean when the DOW has been parked since he came in. His party has done well, is that a crime of his?

After that speech, I would like to watch and see what he and his admin actually does before heaping further abuse on him.

Geopolitics for $200, Alex.

Who started two wars in sensitive areas of the world that endangered oil deliveries to Europe, Japan, and North America?

[Jon Miller]

ok, I agree that on some level; thta was reasojn for war (I am not saying a good reason, or a just reason, but I could imagine people saying that that was a good reasonj)

I was refering to Giancarloes statement that Iraq was already broken

but for the first term we could have the wait and see policy, than we were suppose to vote based upon what we saw

now we have no choice but to pressure against him (well, we could also do a revolution, but I dont' think that generally goes well)

Geez Jon... you are drunk! And I'm not referring to your spelling this time!

Own goal!

I liked this inaugural speech. It was very visionary, idealistic even, yet at the same time down to earth in that it put into simple and easy-to-understand sentences, the challenges - and eventually the rewards - of working towards enabling people of every country to choose for themselves, to break free from oppression and thus to parttake peacefully in world affairs.

It was well delivered (halleluja!) and he seemed very sincere about it. Certainly the most "presidential" I remember ever seeing George W. Bush.

Let's hope the actor they hired can keep it up.

[notyoueither]

I'm not at all cynical. Nope, not me.

Hmm. Somehow, I expect Bush to de-emphasize the good bits of individualism and emphasize the bad ones.

He's not being a globalist, it is bible-bashing bullsh*t...

[Provost Harrison]

If not, it is certainly nothing more than rhetoric...

[notyoueither]

... and certainly not as much as that bloke.
