and assist the same in the United States of America in a couple of years. Regime changes will happen sooner than that in European countries. In America, it is claimed that 80 million Americans get all their news from Talk-radio. Which is completely dominated by the right wing. Besides, less than 40% bother to vote in here while in Italy, for example, the voting percentage is at least twice as much. We have been letting our Democracy decay - with disastrous results. Now the Liberals want to have their own talk-radio shows. A little late but not too late.

Well as far as regime changes go & the issue of Saddam and Co ...wonder if some here can imagine 20yrs in a row of Dubya being their one & only "dearest SUPREME leader" for that entire time , without election? No one ever said democracy was perfect...but usually beats everything in second place <g> There can be fundamental changes in the way all people start to percieve one another from now on. Access to more universal education etc Certainly there is growing a longing for more stability and peace everywhere and an aversion growing for war, terrorism , and constant intimidation etc. We might just be growing up right in the nick of time ...from the standpoint of resources and sustainability , and a transparency growing between us all. There are fewer and fewer places to hide, but there will be another round of the growing threat of nuclear proliferation perhaps . That is not a nice option with unavoidable over-population also looming in so many underdeveloped places. Another time-bomb.
