Re: OT: Rating the President
Anyone happen to have saved a Version of the thread before it was slashed? We could easily pick up from there.

Re: OT: Rating the President
Yeh! I was enjoying this one.
I do recall thinking about where I was gonna park my yacht but can't remember much after that.
But I can get back on the president track.
Now without much debate I'm sure we can all agree that America is
1. The strongest military power in the world
2. The strongest economic power in the world.
Most people would agree that America does claim to be
3. A democratic nation of sorts
4. Leaders of the Free World.
Most non-Americans would probabaly agree that (I'm getting to the point so hold on)
5. Their/our leaders seem to be doing alot of brown tonguing when George W. is in the room.
Now considering all those points doesn't it make sense that in the next presidential elections the entire world gets to vote (or at the least those who at least pretend to have a democratic system).
After all, the american president has huge influence in the world economy, world stability and who will be the bad guys in the next 20 hollywood blockbusters. That affects all of us, not just you guys with the funny spelling.

Re: OT: Rating the President
Now with following the news this week.... What did they find....
Some major players have changed their tune over night on Iraq...
Time will tell I guess, but I am guessing it's not good.
Powell changing his tune was a shocker!!!
My guess is perhaps Feb 16th to 26th. As you don't wanna get involved in a ground war when the heat kicks in.
So far they have been right about everything.
When I first heard the Axis of Evil line I laughed on North Korea... But.....
Perhaps it is the deliverly of the message , or lack there of that bothers me.
P.S.
Now that I do not have to pay a dividend tax on my Us stocks...Like all of you I thought i would take that extra cash and buy a coffee...

Well, the Last thing I remember posting (or seeing, 'cause I think it was posted during the Crunch) was a missive rife with atrocious wordplay based on Mutually Assured Destruction and Nuclear Use Theorists. All told, the death of that post might well be counted a blessing, given the popular opinion of plays on words...
I'm half-tempted to resume where I'd left off, but I'll be good. No gas on the fire.

Re: OT: Rating the President
It would seem that the US still has friends in Europe, despite news reports to the contrary.

Well, I don't know if they will find this helpful or relevent, but it happened in a 18 minute period between 16:00 and 16:18 of Jan 26th.
I was accessing the posted Messages to prepare my post and made the post at 16:18. Could the slammer worm be responsible for the missing Posts?

It was never in question wether the us has friends in europe or not, they have, but friendship is not that we always are your opinion. i am from germany, i do not like bush, i often do not like his politics and i certainly am not for a war without a resolution by the un, but that means not that i do not like americans! i hope you see the differences.
the same probably goes for much of europe, and your london times aticle does not state that around 70% of the brits and about 80% of the polish people... are against a war without the un.

Re: OT: Rating the President
Do you expect the media to ever give a fair account of anything? They leave facts out of all stories that conflict with what they want to report.

If you read the article, you might notice it never mentions going it alone. According to that, Iraq is in violation of the UN accords and should be invaded because of that.
And if anyone says "give him another chance" if and when these inspections fail..how -many- "another chances" are we talking about here? This isn't the first time this has happened.

Re: OT: Rating the President
The problem here is that Irag does not have an underclared weapons of mass destruction. At least, there is no any proof of it. What we have is Bush' rhetoric and empty accusations. Prove me that I am wrong.
