Who are these Murcans? -g- Some indigenous tribe of the USA not yet convinced of the wonder of Bush? On a more serious note, I think all politicians are at the mercy of the "the people". Clinton saw that the citizens of the USA wanted action on local issues. He did that. He also played an international image of "democrat".. The concerned world citizen human. Politics is always a dirty game. The flaws are being seized upon by the republicans. No matter how good a politician is, something is always left on the back burner, After 911 all of a sudden foreign affairs are a hot topic. Bush has changed and altered his outlook to suit. He has done a good job at that imho. And of course Big Biz always likes to chip in a little on both sides of the political divide as long as they get some wins in. This is the USA leading the pack though, plus some allies, playing the game just correctly -g-

Afghan nation in no time will become the leading nation of change, which will also put 'talebinsation' of my country on halt. To halt extremism in Afghanistan would mean halting of extremism in the entire Islamic world. I don't won't to be rude on this very solemn occasion of fall of Kabul, however let me say that you cannot realize what a mourning must have gone through the heartland of the explosive extremists core of Islam when they must have seen people dancing on streets and shaving of their beard.This is a major revolution, Bush picked this gauntlet thrown by Osama, and the ways things are wrapping up now are great. The stakes were high, Osama never expected seeing after Cole and Khobar the lukewarm response of US that the price he would pay would be high that will include this kind of termination of his activities. This required very responsive and very solid conviction. US were lucky to have one at this important juncture.
