I do not trust any politician. Including Bush. However, when giving the benefit of the doubt, I am going to give Bush the nod over Saddam. I believe that is the difference between you and I.

From Jorg's next post it would seem he is resting on the "you are either with us or against us", simplistic positioning of ideas. Perhaps this position is Bush's way to keep things within his focus ability. I am still wondering why we are not actively looking for Bin Ladin. We talked about this recently and I am driven to side with you on the issue......Bin Ladin may well be working for the covert US shadow gov't. All our terrorist alerts are from the result of AL Quada operations. We are not pursuing all the training camps that are currently operating in Afghanistan..............this is an outrage!!!!! Instead our gov't has chosen to attack Iraq. I think that Bush is counting on the American psyche to be in a state similar to that of a braindead fish.

Dark Clouds Hang Over Davos DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Boogeying poolside was out, bashing America was in at this year's Davos business summit as angst over war and recession drove out the traditional strut and swagger of the global elite. The World Economic Forum's six-day annual meeting returned to the chic Swiss ski resort after decamping to New York last year for the first time in three decades to embrace a city still reeling from the September 11 suicide plane attacks. But this year it was hard to hear a kind word about a United States now viewed with distrust and skepticism, especially over the superpower's threats of war against Iraq if it fails to come clean over any weapons of mass destruction. "It's very worrying that the Americans could be prepared to act unilaterally. They are playing a very risky game," Simon Maxwell, head of Britain's Overseas Development Institute think tank, told Reuters, echoing a common theme in Davos. biz.yahoo.com
