Hmmmm. After spending countless billions over almost 3 years, Baghdad is the "most dangerous place in the world" and a US military official (stationed in Baghdad) calls it "an extraordinarily dangerous environment". Thanks, Dumbya! ;-) ---- BAGHDAD, Iraq - When the tall, lanky 16-year-old in the white Nikes, unaccompanied and unable to speak Arabic, explained that he had come to downtown Baghdad for the sake of a school project in ``immersion journalism'' and humanitarian work -- all without his parents' permission -- Patrick Quinn's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. Within minutes, Quinn, the Associated Press' editor in Baghdad, picked up the telephone and called the U.S. Embassy, to get the young man from Fort Lauderdale out of what he called ``the most dangerous place in the world.'' Friday, with Farris Hassan safely on a plane back to Florida, the U.S. consul-general announced that the youth's impetuous journey was at an end, while military officials sputtered angrily about his naive jaunt into a war zone. ``This was a thoroughly stupid thing to do,'' a U.S. military official in Baghdad, Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, said in a brief interview Friday. ``This is an extraordinarily dangerous environment. It's not only his life, but the life of service members responsible for securing him.''

Gore won that election. He made a huge mistake letting himself be snookered into conceding. he should have sued over the voter roll scrubbing. 57,700 mainly black voters not allowed to vote in Florida 2000. Gore "lost" by 527 votes. Plus a partisan Bushie on the Supreme Court closed the door on what should have been an ongoing investigation and re-vote or re-count. Gore actually won Florida, or would have won if legal votes had been allowed and counted, and he also won the popular vote nationally. To be fair, JFK's father probably wiped it in 1960 for him too, but this kind of thing should never be allowed to happen again. It's deeply un-American.
