What was it talking about when it said that?



Boy George was referring to Clinton's plan to stop the genocide in
Kosovo. Those who are now chickenhawks about Iraq sneered and called
Clinton war monger, among other things when he threatened to bomb
Taliban/al Qaeda in Afghanistan, and did all they could to stop
Clinton's military involvement in European affairs. BTW, not a single
American soldier lost his life in Kosovo--and yet we stopped the
slaughter of millions of helpless civilians.

Something else: have you noticed how all the conservatives are now
decrying the Bush administration they praised to high heaven just a few
weeks ago? Bush ain't no conservative, they cry: don't blame us for the
mess Bush made of the nation--give us "true conservatives" complete
control of all arms of government and we'll do a better job. BS. Bush
IS a conservative--a "compassionate" is his claim. And don't be fooled
when the next election rolls around: McCain is the same sort of
consrvative--slightly more moderate, but with no moral base to help him
resist the political power of the Neo-Conservatives who are wedded to
fanatical religious ideologues.
