Suppose I posted to NeoCon, that the best thing would be President Bush's death. Without stating how I thought that should be brought about. President Bush was democratically elected, we don't have to wish for death of a president we're not satisfied with in this country, we are free to vote on it after 4 years, and exceptionally a president may be impeached. Just as Israel has voted in and out any number of presidents during all this time that Arafat has been there impeding progress. [And spare me in advance any lectures about the last elections, if they had not been so close the difference was in the noise - a sign of the plurality of opinion we enjoy in the USA - there would not have been that circus with the vote counts in Florida.] It's only the thugs that run Arab states for life that one has to silently wish for their "death" to see them ever removed.

<<<Suppose I posted to NeoCon, that the best thing would be President Bush's death. Without stating how I thought that should be brought about.>>> Been tried, you know, as recently as Sept 2001. You can add GB 1 and GB2 ,RFK, and any President who was in the service in wartime, such as DD Eisenhower, etc. Its apparently an OK subject for outsiders, like OBL, Saddam, Al Qaedas, and some Iraqis holding up signs But if you post it here, your next address may be Guantanimo. . <<Occupational Hazards Some things go along with the office. Assassination attempts (between election day and death): Andrew Jackson Abraham Lincoln Rutherford Hayes (shot at during electoral crisis) James Garfield William McKinley Theodore Roosevelt (during 1912 campaign) Franklin Roosevelt (attack killed Cermak) Harry Truman (? Puerto Ricans) John Kennedy Gerald Ford (Squeaky Fromme & one other) Ronald Reagan>> Sig . doctorzebra.com
