    Curious:

    1) There are daily riots in Afghanistan and Iraq that no one - for some odd reason even the smaller media organizations with no vested interest in the government - is reporting on. These riots occur on a daily basis, but apparently our troops there, several of whom I know and have communicated with, are not aware of them. But is is impossible to refute...

    2) France is an important diplomatic and economic ally, even though the "boycott" movement has had absolutely no negative impact upon our own economy, but a significant one on theirs, and even though they have not sided with us on a major foreign policy issue since Kosovo, and have even in some areas worked against us in the War on Terror... But yes, the important issue here is that we're cordial with each other. I mean, f* issues, let's have tea.

    3) Speaking of which, that War on Terror is simply a "ophantom" war, which must mean that it has no tangible existence, which must mean that it is not really happening. Hmmm, I wonder if someone ought to tell the boys in Afghanistan? Or Iraq? Or the families of those who died on 9/11, in the USS Cole, the Khobar Towers, Riyhad, etc? I mean, since it's a "phantom" war, maybe these interested parties would benefit from finding that out?

    That's debatable. We have many allies who are much more important.

    No, it's hetero doxy wandering in under an assumed identity since GWB's internet police might be watching.

    However, now that I think about it, we haven't been referred to as "ignorant racist 'necks" so it can't be HD.

    BTW Vegan take a look at http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,965233,00.html . Gee, looks like Bush does more than just "declare war" and devastate the world's less prosperous countries just 'cause he's a mean old man.

    Yep,

    Since Clinton was in charge when the downturn happened, it must have effected Gore's campaign.
