Not to worry. President-elect Obama will simply declare that
the
Monroe Doctrine is heretofore null and void.

Problem solved.

Bush thinks it is. He lets the PRC play in Central and South
America.


Doesn't much matter now what Bush thinks, does it?
Precedent. The PRC is all over South America. No incoming U.S.
president
would be able to kick them out. Besides, we're not going to
play
brinkmanship with our largest creditor. Your dumb boy Bush
emasculated
this country.
You're getting an early start on your excuses, Harry.
It's Thanksgiving, John Herring. Why not give your hatred for other
posters here a rest for the day...no personal insults.
Oh, you're establishing a new trend?

The personal insults from you, slammer, and Donnie were still on my
machine
from last night.

I'll make you a deal, Harry. You stop with the personal insults to
anyone,
and I'll do the same. And that has no time restsrictions on it, and
it's
not just to this thread.

Deal, or no deal?
It's Thanksgiving Day, John Herring. Try to behave decently to the
other
posters in here, if just for the day. One day at a time.
No day by day crap.

Deal or no deal?
It's Thanksgiving Day, John Herring. How you behave here today is
entirely up to you. I am merely suggesting that because it is
Thanksgiving Day, you behave decently here today. It's your choice, and
it has nothing to do with me.
Wrong. This has everything to do with you.

You stop the personal insults of anyone, and I'll do the same. That
should
not be all that hard. You just pay no attention to those who insult you.
It's easy!

But, it's for good. None of this 'one day at a time' crap. This isn't
AA,
unless you just feel addicted to making insulting comments.

Well, John Herring, you don't need my permission to behave here on
Thanksgiving Day the same way you behave here every other day. As I
stated, your behavior here is up to you. However you behave here today
will demonstrate your character.
Harry, that's called 'waffling'. We can agree to stop the insulting
comments and name-calling. I'm willing.

Deal, or no deal. Stop squirming and pick one. It will reflect on your
character!

Think about it. I'm off to the driving range with my grandkids!

John,
Look at it from Harry's perspective. Thanksgiving is the most important
day of the year for him. He has been blessed with gifts, a roof over
his head, warm clothing food on the table, and a sock full of gold. He
is in a celebratory mood today and we should all be thankful for that.
Join with me in wishing Harry a Happy Thanksgiving day.

I already did. I'm seeing if he's got the discipline to join me in a
cessation of the personal insults.

I issue no orders. This would be only between Harry and I. I, for example,
