Politics : PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I will take your word for it that Bush knew, but I still suppose that the fellow was so deeply closeted that there was no anticipation of it becoming a political issue.... On the issue of Black Americans to South Africa during apartheid, I suppose that it depends on what statement one is trying to make. It would be very aggressive to send an African- American ambassador, and therefore, in the world of diplomacy, would generally be inadvisable, although if one had decided to put a great deal of pressure on the situation, then it might be a good idea. I answer it because I dislike the implication that I would be cowed by it.....

I hope no one who posted to me today minds if they don't receive replies to their posts. There are so many of you and so few of me it's impossible to keep up and get any work done, too; and also I'm having a deja vu sort of experience now, and am sure everybody else is, too. Gee and here I thought you meant it when you said you wanted a response from BV, myself and Neo. Silly me. JLA
