Definitively? Maybe to you, not to me. OK. Find out how many British PMs have been removed since 1789. Then compare that to the number of US Presidents. We've already got a score of 3-0 and that's only since 1885. Why would I bother; as I said before, its not the primary issue on the plate. If you are so concerned to prove your point, then you do the search and come up with the info. chill with the pedantic attitude. Its an obnoxious trait that conservatives bring to the fore whenever they can't have their way 100%, and its boring. It's a trait we bring to the fore when leftists are wrong and refuse to admit it. Sorry, Charlie......good answer but I'm not buying it. The pedantry is just that- -an attempt to educate. Not to worry, I've got that handled. I just want to make sure that we accurately determine whether Bush was intentionally misleading the Amer. public or not, and if affirmative, that the proper steps be taken to impeach him. Good luck. You're gonna need it. With a Republican Congress, forget about Congressional subpoenas or special prosecutors. Well, at least your honest. So what's you're plan? There's a number of ways to skin a cat........we'll find a way. If they stick with Blair, it will have more to do with his ongoing popularity than with the Brits. enthusiasm over the toppling of Saddam. According to you. Few of them are unhappy to see Saddam gone. THey are noted for not liking dictators. Listen, I too have friends in the UK and they were adamantly opposed to the war. But lets not leave it there.....London staged the biggest peace rally in its history and Blair's popularity dropped to 30% right before commencement of the war. At the current time, 48% of Brits distrust Blair over the Iraqi war. You forget the numbers for UK conservatives are small and flailing. I don't think so. Then you're wrong again. If I am wrong, then conservatives need a image makeover.......desperately. In fact I would say Stalin was more right than he was left. You would, of course. Let's see. Under socialism the state owns (most) of the means of production and private property rights are quite limited. Under Communism the state owns (most) of the means of production and private property rights are quite limited. Well, you given the definitions of the socialist state and the one for the communist state but you left out the definition for the United Soviet Socialist Republic. You see Russia was ruled by a central authority of which Stalin was the head honcho as well as dictator of the country. Its called an oligarchy. Stalin also tended to be autocratic and reactionary and tyrannical and pedantic.....some other traits often identified with the right. Yeah, you guys take the blame for this one too. After all, he was friends with Hitler, the ultimate conservative, until they had a falling out. I suppose then that Hitler was also a Roman Emperor since he also had an alliance with Mussolini who wanted to revive that 2,000-year-dead relic? I can't address Mussolini's reactionary fantasies but Hitler was like Mussolini and the two of them were much like Stalin........tyrannical, paranoid, reactionary, evil, and capable of killing millions. That was a marriage of convenience that shook the Communist Party to its core and you know it and I know it. Maybe the communist party in the US but not the one in Russia. Stalin hoped (unsuccessfully) to hold an attack by Germany with that pact and nothing else. Well, that's no surprise......I didn't say that they were best buds. Besides, its hard to be a true ally when you're paranoid 24/7. They don't remove it; they restrict it. In some cases, that's not a bad thing. And in some cases it is. Are you wise enough to know which is which? Yes.......very wise. He was an arrogant asshole with a will of iron who had the courage to think and follow his own course during a difficult time in Britain's history. Arrogant? Is that a codeword for "right" as in "correct"? He was right about Hitler. He was right about the Communists. And he did an outstanding job of inspiring the Brits to resist Germany until the US got into it. Not a bad record at all. Arrogant as in expecting people to believe him because he said it was so. Please don't tell me you find Churchill to be a humble man.
