Bush III needs to go, ASAP, as well. His "faith" worked well with/on his own daughter, didn't it? She did drive-thru pharmacies to escape his lunacy. But through his "influence," was not sentenced on her "third strike" to such a loving, compassionate, religious prison. She wasn't sentenced to do her deserved "time," as defined by State of Florida law, in ANY PRISON, as a matter of fact. She's "sick." And "deserves" compassionate, "humane," THERAPY. "lb"

Canada Got it Right on Iraq commondreams.org <<...The most obvious consequence is that the United States and its posse are caught in a morass. They cannot end the occupation precipitously without triggering a civil war and undoing the good they have done in removing Saddam Hussein. They cannot stay in Iraq without losing more soldiers and more money. Echoes of Vietnam. Meanwhile, the Iraqi toll also rises. As one Arab ambassador at the United Nations put it, the Americans have swallowed a razor and nothing they do now will be painless or cost-free. The cost to U.S. interests extends well beyond Iraq. In December, the U.S. Advisory Group on Public Diplomacy for the Arab and Muslim World, headed by former U.S. ambassador to Israel and Syria, Edward Djerejian, reported that "the bottom has indeed fallen out of support for the United States." According to a poll released this week by the Pew Research Center, international discontent with the United States and its foreign policy has intensified rather than diminished since last year. In some Muslim countries, support for the United States is in the single digits. Pew found little change in the overwhelmingly negative attitudes of countries toward the Iraq war. In Britain, support has plummeted from 61 per cent last year to 43 per cent now. The Globe and Mail/CTV News poll found that two-thirds of Canadians believe that President George W. Bush "knowingly lied to the world" about Iraq. Nor are all the critics foreign. The war, according to a report of the U.S. Army War College, was a strategic error, a distraction from the war on terrorism. Beyond the neo-cons, few see terrorism as monolithic. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace found that weapons of mass destruction were not an immediate threat, inspections were working, the terrorism connection was missing and war was not the best or only option. Most of the extraordinary foreign disaffection with the United States can be traced to U.S. foreign policy, rather than to the United States per se...>>
