<they are now trying to permit non-US citizens to vote in DC elections..>

About time, IMHO. so long as they are legal residents in the country. Remember "taxation without representation" was one of the reasons the US split from the British Empire...

<< But I bet you, with the proper coaching and nurturing, in 10-20 years we'll see a region that is vastly better off economically and socially than it is now.. >>

You are assuming that the terrorists won't win.

In order for democracy and freedom to win, the appeasers and the antiAmerican protesters, and the fascists, must lose. Is that possible?

Buts...... I agree with you. The Bush administration will not allow the thugs to win, and with another 6 years, for Bush to win the war against terrorism, and to get the economy working better, perhaps there is light at the end .......
