<GGG> I doubt that health care costs are *contained* any better under our CURRENT system... then they likely would have been under the aborted proposal they came up with in the 'nineties.

It's hard to imagine that ANY kind of a national system would have higher health care cost inflation then we currently experience (though there certainly could be a variety of *different* problems....)

Convert to Islam, Al-Qaeda tells Bush

Al-Qaeda's number two Ayman al-Zawahiri has called on US President George W Bush to convert to Islam.

"Ayman Zawahiri called on President George W Bush to convert to Islam in the video recording received by Al-Jazeera," said the channel's presenter.

"If you obey, you will be a brother in religion and God will pardon the past," she cited Zawahiri as saying in the tape broadcast on Monday.

Al-Jazeera did not broadcast excerpts of this passage from the tape, but said the full recording would be made available on its website.

In the excerpts broadcast by Al-Jazeera, Zawahiri said he survived a controversial US raid targeting him in Pakistan.
