We had the same bullshit when he visited Australia, for someone annointed by God he sure is a paranoid little fucker. I really doubt these were Bush's ideas, the Secret Service handles this type of stuff. Usually the Secret Service wants an assload of protection, and the president's staff has to ne...

Should N. Korea and/or Iran be allowed to have nukes?
A lot of our discussions regarding Iran and N. Korea assume that they both shouldn't be allowed have nukes to begin with. I'm not trying to steal any thunder from Sueven's thread, if you want to debate this please post in his thread (although I guess I can't stop you from posting here). I was just w...

I'm calling it a deterrent because that's what it's generally being called right now. I'm choosing a general term because we don't know specifically what their nuclear capabilities are. If you would like to refer to it as a weapon or some other more aggressive term, feel free. The semantics don't b...

I had pretty much written him off, but from what I've read he's actually made a comeback. Right now he's one of two finalists for prime minister, although he probably won't get it. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/15/international/middleeast/15cnd-iraq.html http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000...

This law was signed April 24, 1996 by William Jefferson Clinton, not vetoed by him and was pushed through by a republican congress. So if you have any problems with the law itself you can blame both sides in a truly bipartisan manner. You're missing the point of the legislation. The point was to su...

You just don't seem to get the point I'm making. N. Korea has been deadset on having nukes since before our policy of pre-emption was even developed. Whether or not Bush had even been elected, N.
