OT: Rating the President

[Shoujo]

Not that we are any better off in the UK: Tony Blair should get his nose out of Bush's arsehole and lead the world in standing up to him.

Isn't there hope for Blair still? I mean I thought I read an article saying that his own party, the opposition parties, and the British public all oppose going to war with Iraq (without the sanction of the UN that is). Surely Blair would get the message?

Being a neighbour of the U S of A, I wondered from 9/11 why George Bush did not actively propose a world court and a world law.

The explanations I've heard is that the US is afraid of a wort could come up on charges if it misused its powers."

Or he thought a world court would be used in a biased manner. I remember for example Sudan being appointed to the human rights commison. Maybe because they have so much experience with violating it?

This is true. In fact the UN inspectors also have not been able to find the Bio/Chem weapons that it found the Last time that they were there in the country. What happened to those weapons? Iraq says they were destroyed. The UN inspectors say ok where are your documents regarding the destruction? Iraq is silent.

AS for a world court. As others have stated why would we support something that would be used as a weapon against us.

Look I know that this is an international forum. But I do not understand why other countries cannot see what the US is trying to do. To me it seems that George W Bush is trying to make the world safer for everybody.

As for drilling for oil in Alaska. If you don't agree with the Iraq policy then you should be in favor of drilling for our own oil so that we do not have to concern ourselves with the middle east.

Ah yes, Kyoto. Treaty signed by President Clinton, lost ratification by the Senate 98-0, and it's all President Bush's fault.

Ooookay.

The thread was about rating George "Dubyah" wasn't it? Well IMHO he isn't doing a great job; adequate but not great. However, he IS standing up for his principles (right OR wrong) and not switching to the political view of the moment. As it pertains to world politics, he seems to say something and commits to it. Just check your own local politician on that level.

To me, that earns him a few points. 'Course all those points are dismissed 'cause some of his principles are kinda' "boneheaded".....

From peace and prosperity to war and depression. I think that says it all.
