Friedman obviously doesn't know the history of the subject he is writing about this time. Read the news archives and it's clear he doesn't. whitehouse.gov Did you know Bush has ideas that congress hasn't touched for four years? archives.cnn.com I say more nuclear plants to create electricity and hydrogen, but the loony left says no. Ok, we need more oil, but the loony left won't left you get the oil off the California coast or Alaska. More funding for research is another codeword for government freeloaders to me.......... Now what?

...and for our dear Libs in this thread, vast majority of whom has long ago placed Thomas Friedman in the neo-con compartment, here he finally comes out of the closet and declares himself a (stay tuned): "As a geo-green, I believe..." (quote: TF) That is a new nome-de-guerre to consider after the all the bad guys bad mouthed "liberal" to the level where it has to go! The choice is now up to "progressives" and "geo-greens".

These people are loons!!! Saudis defy Valentine's Day ban Her confusion was not a surprise in a country where Valentine's Day is prohibited and religious authorities confiscate red items from gift stores and call the occasion a Christian celebration true Muslims should shun. Like Valentine's Day, all Christian and even most Muslim feasts are banned in the kingdom, the birthplace of Islam, because they're considered an unorthodox creation Islam doesn't sanction. Men and women cannot go for a drive together, have a meal or talk on the street unless they are close relatives. Infractions are punished by detentions. edition.cnn.com And how to guarantee a whole nation of perverts..... Lingerie stores have rows of red, lacy lingerie, with one shop displaying a sheer negligee and the picture of a heart next to it. You can't talk to women in the town square, but you can buy sheer negligees and racy lingerie....
