Do Mac users support GW Bush?

You bet fryke.
Speaking of bullies check out our Ambassor to the UN, John Bolton. What a crew Dubya has put together! Just amazing. And he got re-elected on top of it all. He stole the first one and won the second. That's the real bummer.

Took me a few moments before I realized it was interactive.

I've seen one similar to this a while back, although it was with a female dressed in a bikini (of all things! )....I think I even posted a link to it here once.

If it was a good looking girl in a skimpy bikini, you'll have to post the link again!

Yeah, it IS quite satisfying........now, if they'd just make
some of these featuring Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and the whole rabies infected pack of those hounds from Hell, I'd be occupied for days at a time!

While I personally don't like the existence Camp X-Ray AKA "Gitmo" as I believe it to be location of human rights violations, I understand the necessity for it. By calling the detainees "enemy combatants", the U.S. government is attempting to deny these people, as long as politically possible both domestically and abroad, the rights set forth by the Geneva Convention, which the U.S. so fervently defends for its troops internationally. The objective for denying these people "prisoner of war" status and rights is to isolate them completely from the outside world, instill fear and hopelessness as a means for breaking them psychologically to provide possible information about the inner workings of terrorist networks. With more open borders between nations for commerce, the terrorists are fighting against the "Western Infadels" in a manner analogous to the American Indian. The indians didn't fight according to the "established rules of war" in Europe at that time, and now that laws are in place to protect human rights, crafted by word-smiths, AKA "Lawyers", the U.S. government changed the language of the captured to extract as much information as possible from the detainees until the whole world is pressuring the U.S. for due process of law for these people.

Calling the U.S. "bullies on the playground" is I think, a bit strong and out of context. As a U.S. citizen, I know that the general public is not "pro-war" as is the phonetically and grammatically challenged gun-slinging cowboy who is currently occupying the Presidential Office. Note that I did not refer to "W" as the President. No one here wants to send their sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters to war. I am sincerely concerned that "W" does not comprehend the scope of his (in)decisions and actions, and that this established and continued activity will only propagate negativity, resentment, and hostility towards the U.S.

For clarity of my argument, I think that "W" means well for most major events that require action/intervention, but I am concerned about his inability to execute language properly. If I recall correctly, languistic ability is directly related to thinking ability, memory, span, etc... Listening to "W" speak, one would never have thought that he graduated from Yale University, an Ivy League school. While I know that "W" has some redeaming qualities, I think that his talents lie elsewhere and not with the Presidency of the United States. I'm not trying to slam him as a human being or politically, but clearly his talents lie in some other arena. I would have the same opinion of a democrat or independent occupying the executive office or other high-ranking government office if he or she displayed these qualities.

France sells the nuke reactors to Iraq and you have riots all over your county Started by a bunch of immigrants in France. Who say they want to be citizens of France. What does Jock do nothing but let them riot. Then in typical French snobbery you shoot down Bush you should start with you own country first.
