Bush!

He's been nominated...along with Tony Blair, for protecting World
Peace.

One of 173 nominees. Looks like his chances of a Nobel are about the
same as a second term, if there's any justice in the world.

173 out over 6 billion people in this World. What percentile would that
put
him in?



The percentile of those nominated as a joke.

It is amazing to me that you actually, truly *believe* in Bush. I mean,
you really do. He's such an absolute dummy and fraud. What is it about
him that appeals to you...his ersatz cowboy approach to the world?

Two reasons: 1) He's the anti-Clinton. He does what he says he'll do. He
makes a decision and sticks with it to the end. He's not a smooth-talking
bull****ter like his predecessor.

2) I'm tired of the way that the World has kicked us around since the end of
the Cold War. I guess that Europe figured that they didn't need us once the
big, bad Soviet Union fell apart. Deep down, many European's were happy
that the bully got his due on 9/11. It's human nature to resent the
powerful...and favor the underdog.

Bin Laden's long-term goal is to seize the oil in the Middle East and
destroy us economically. The House of Saud is a house of cards...and we're
in Iraq to see that bin Laden's plan doesn't come to fruition once the
extremists have seized power in Saudi Arabia.

Appeasement through diplomacy is not the answer. I fully believe that his
actions are precisely what I'd be doing were I in his place. Europe sees it
as hegemony and arrogance. They're short-sighted and don't realize that
should the Middle East's oil fall into the hands of the extremists, it's
"lights out" for Western civilization.

I can't think of one policy that Bush has pushed for that I don't agree
with. Besides all that, he's a likeable guy.
