This administration is out of control....there is no reason to go to war.......yet THIS country is in dire need of health care, environmental protections, civil rights and human rights.... THIS administration is sending us down the tubes. The MARKET and the WORLD (other than the lapdog Blair) have spoken Friday February 14, 2003 The Guardian Ken Lay developed connections among business and political leaders. He chaired the 1992 Republican national convention in Houston and sat with George H W Bush in the presidential box. After Bush lost the 1992 election, Lay maintained strong ties to the Bush family. Bush's sons lobbied on behalf of Enron: Neil and Marvin in Kuwait and George W in Argentina. Lay also rewarded Wendy Gramm, Bush's chair of the commodity futures trading commission, with a directorship, soon after she had pushed through the regulatory exemption for over-the-counter derivatives, an important part of Enron's business. As Enron's board became more international, to reflect the company's new global businesses, it became less effective in monitoring Enron's management. Lord Wakeham, the former leader of the Commons and energy minister, had permitted Enron to build England's largest power plant, at Teesside, and now received even more money as a consultant to Enron than as a board member - both at the same time. Enron's five-member audit committee was hardly full of watchdogs, either. Ronnie C Chan, chairman of the Hang Lung Group in Hong Kong, and Paulo V Ferraz Pereira, a senior officer of Group Bozano in Brazil, had little experience with US accounting. Wendy Gramm's free-market policy group in Washington received $50,000 from Enron and another $10,000 from a foundation set up by Lay. Her husband, Texas senator Phil Gramm, received $97,350 of donations from Enron, plus funds raised by Mark Brickell, the JP Morgan lobbyist, one of Mrs Gramm's comrades. That left the chair of the audit committee, Robert K Jaedicke, emeritus professor of accounting at Stanford. He did not grasp the complex disclosure issues presented by the managers he was supposed to oversee and control. He made nearly $1m from Enron stock. CC

Long-term stability in the region will have a wonderful long-term affect on the global economy. The same sort of studies were done in Europe in the mid '30s as a way to justify appeasement, including some done by leftist professors at the University where I went to school. I strongly believe that an occupied Iraq will allow the more moderate secular legislature to take greater control in Iran. Currently, the debt is under control as measured by its percentage of GDP. And by the way, isn't an apology forthcoming. After all, you were the lady who took it upon herself to claim that my deceased husband was masquerading as me. Or as Jock would say, "Send me a PM, and I will send you my ashes."
