| #3 The article was good until it went to Iraq then it turned into fantasy. Iranian is the enemy, the sooner politicians and pundits really 'get' that the sooner we'll win. I hope it doesn't take a disaster for them to get it. |

| #2 The current Borat movie has audiences rolling in the aisles over the premise that America is a narrow, intolerant, homosexual-hating, anti-Semitic nation unmasked by the comedian masquerading as a Moslem. I'd like to offer a different interpretation. I think it shows clearly that Americans are by far the most tolerant, cordial, open and accommodating people in the world. While the rest of the world continues to wallow in concerns about blood ties and clan loyalties from the village to the national level, the only people who've I've witness adopt children regardless of blood, color, race, religion, or national origin has been Americans by the legion[and we can probably throw in our Canadian cousins]. Americans will not only take them in, but many make the effort to preserve the best of the child's heritage and not the part that treated them like throw aways. |

| #1 NO GOP-DEM strategy(s) regardless of merits will work when POLITIX MATTERS MORE THAN NATIONAL SAFETY/SECURITY. Nothing will work iff people or Pols wilfully do not want anything to work becuz of nepotist desires for power, ala movie FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, the end-scene where honest Roman Soldier-General walks away wid his Lady love whilst Roman Emperorships go to the highest bidders. THE DEMS KNOW AMER IS IN A FIGHT FOR ITS VERY LIFE, IDENTITY + espec its EXISTENCE, yet prefer to humiliate their own country + POTUS despite recognizing the merits/worth of his policies in regards to overall US security. THE DEMS KNOW IFF WE DON'T FIGHT "OVER THERE", AMER IS GONNA SEE NEW TERROR + ENEMY ARMIES "OVER HERE", IN OUR OWN BACKYARDS, ERGO DEGRADE DUBYA + AMERICA. America's enemies no longer desire or tolerate the "status guo" - ANY COLD WAR PRETENSE OF "BUYING THEM OFF" WID US $$$/ECON CONCESSIONS IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE, and indeed only adds to their preceptions of our weakness and national divisions. THEY WANNA KILL US, FOREVER AND EVER, NOT MERELY TO HURT US, AND NHAVE NO QUALMS USING OUR OWN VALUES AND SYSTEMS, ANYTHING AND EVRYTHING, AGZ US. |
