Hey, I thought of something! Bush was the first President to select African-American for top-tier cabinet posts (Defense; State). He also appointed a Hispanic as Attorney Genereal. These appointments broke the back of the perception that the Republican Party is racist or at least has racists tendencies.

Nice try Kid, but if you were alive in the 80s you would have learned that raising taxes decreases revenue.

That's what Reagan said. His voodoo ecomonics said he could cut taxes, double military spending and balance the budget. He was basing this campaign promise on the so-called Laffer Curve -- which it turns out was very appropriately named.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

There was a historical chance, "thanks" to the war on terror and fall of Saddam's regime, hostile to Syria, to draw Syria closer to the west. But USA and Israel did everything to push Syria deeper and deeper into Iran's embrace. You call that success?
When it comes to financial pressure - every false move of Israel and USA, and they make them a lot, sends milions of dolars to the terrorists. Bush, fighting them the way he does, gives them raison d'etre"I realise I hold the key to freedom,
I cannot let my life be ruled by threads" The Web Frogs
Middle East!
