>But, that isn't the same as flying the modified battle flag. Georgia does -- they have all of the Confederate flags in front of the Capitol. I unfortunately didn't get a photo that came out when I was there. They fly over a monument to Confederate soldiers and women. -Z

Bush's triumph "Just call him George W. Bush, star international diplomat," Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley A. Strassel writes. "Don't snicker, don't spit out your coffee. Instead, read over the final document on climate change released [Thursday] by the Group of Eight," the writer said. "Yes, it's a major shift in how the world will address the supposed threat of global warming. It's also largely the vision put forth years ago by none other than George W. Bush -- that international cowboy -- even if few European politicians will admit it. "Don't expect anyone to admit it. When Mr. Bush unveiled his new climate framework [the week before last], calling on the world's powers to reduce greenhouse emissions, it was portrayed as a capitulation. He'd removed the last 'obstacle' to world unity on this issue, and seen the error of his ways. At this [past] week's Democratic presidential debate, every candidate vowed to fix the damage Mr. Bush had done to America's international reputation, his Kyoto failure the obvious example. "There's been a capitulation on global warming, but it hasn't happened in the Oval Office. The Kyoto cheerleaders at the United Nations and the European Union are realizing their government-run experiment in climate control is a mess, one that's incidentally failed to reduce carbon emissions. They've also understood that if they want the biggest players on board -- the U.S., China, India -- they need an approach that balances economic growth with feel-good environmentalism. [Thursday's] G-8 agreement acknowledged those realities and tolled Kyoto's death knell. Mr. Bush, 1; sanctimonious greens, 0."
