Mad Cow Boy Disease posters appeared on tv tonight. I heard on the news that 1/3 of the British people believe Bush is more dangerous than Saddam.

After the cold war, the UN with cooperation from both the US and Russia were working together. Now, the US and Tony Blair are on their own. I'm not sure how much longer Tony Blair can hold onto his title. Hopefully, his party will kick him out, and he will be forced to call new elections. Korea Korea: I read an editorial in LA Times a week or so ago that said one reason the North Koreans were upset was because the economy had gotten out of hand, and the prices of some commodities had soared by 600%. The North had tried to let prices float in the market place. I don't know if I kept a copy of the editorial. If I have it, I'll post it.

Thanks for the article about Clinton's speech. "On the topic of North Korea, Clinton said the United States and nations such as Japan and China should engage the renegade country by offering economic aid in exchange for its abandonment of nuclear weapons programs. "They just want us to say they're important. They don't want to go the way of East Germany," Clinton said. "We've got to break this crazy psychology." chron.com >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Others with less experience than Clinton have said North Korea wanted attention and probably reassurance that Bush will not attack them after he targeted the country in his "axis of evil speech." I wonder if their hatred of Bush will push North and South Korea together. Over the past few weeks, there have been numerous reports that the South wants to kick out the US military and anti-American sentiment is high. A month or so ago, I saw a newspaper picture that a journalist snapped in Seoul. A sign inside a restaurant warned Americans to stay outside.
