At this point I don't see anyone replacing Dubya in 2004. I propose we let Al Gore run Iraq. How's that for fair and balanced?
You're absolutely right, Lola. As long as you're on my side. Otherwise you are a disgrace, possibly a traitor to my country, and I say love me or leave me.
I think you're right Cjhsa. But I believe Bush will not be elected in 2004 but that the Republican Guard will make sure he .... continues.
Now love me or leave me......that's not the same. If I think someone's opinion is wrong, that doesn't say that they don't love me or me them. It doesn't address the question of love or loyalty. A person has to be mean to me repeatedly or very mean once for me to leave them. GW's, "you're with us or against us" goes a step further than believing I'm wrong in my opposing opinion of his policies. It implies malice on my part. And in his case, I must say, he's right. Self-fullfilling prophesy, I'd say.

The Supreme Court is not just an umpire calling balls and strikes with no concern about larger social consequences -- including the position of the Court itself -- and it may be a good thing for a bit of the myth to be punctured.
If the goal of puncturing that myth is an effort to move the court back in the direction from which your quote argues it has moved, then I am all for it.
The world is begging you to get this moron out of office.
Opinion poll in Argentina shows more people have a positive image of Saddam Hussain than of George W Bush. Almost 25% had a good opinion of the Iraqi leader, against less than 16% for the American president.
That's a nice one, BillW.
frolic
Argentina is a poor example. For years they had a fascist government that committed all sorts of atrocities. In addition it was flooded with and gladly accepted Nazi war criminals and their wealth after WW2. Let's go to France where they desecrate cemeteries of foreign soldiers who fought for their freedom.
Whether G. Bush gets elected for another term or not is up to the American public.
Why isn't the "world" concerned with the many despotic rulers around the globe?
The reasons Bush used for the invasion of Iraq to say the least were indeed tainted. However, the "world" would find it hard to find fault with the results, elimination of the Saddam regime.
au, Nobody argues the point that Saddam is a tyrant to his people. There are many in this world today. The problem lies in the fact that how many Iraqis and coalition military must sacrifice their lives to make this come about? c.i.
c.i.
The question is: are the results worth the investment.
Do the ends justify the means?
.c.i.
That really remains to be seen.
Tartarin, sums it all up in one good looking article. It is to the point, showing a lot of his deceptions. I wouldn't trust this man with anything, he is a crook!
I've seen almost 2,000 lives lost during this war. How many more will it be worth their peace? That means families and friends have lost a loved one. c.i.
