Cheney's former firm gives out bad food, huh? I'm not surprised. Also noteworthy is Cheney's former Haliburton got some nice green gravy when it got government-contracted to construct the terrorist bird cages at Guantnamo Bay in Cuba: cnn.com

But more frightening than bad food and bird cages for the bad guys is the following: cnn.com Today, right now, Netscape.com has a poll, asking which 'Axis of Evil' nation is the greater nuclear threat--Iraq, Iran or Korea. As of 2:50 EST, Korea was the choice of 69 percent; Iraq 20 percent and Iran 11 percent. Mayhaps the Bush Administration be barking up the wrong tree? Seems to me that during the Clinton Administration North and South Korea made some reasonable strides toward burying the long-held hatchet. As noted from the article, back in '94 Korea even agreed with the Clinton Administration not to move into nuclear-frenzied politics. But all of that has changed and we're now moving backwards under Bush. To this day, I still wonder if 9/11 would have happened had America been more willing, a more forthright participant, a true leadering nation even, at the August 31 to September 7, 2001 World Conference Against Racism, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, sponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. cnn.com unhchr.ch
