A quick google search for "tito yugoslavia" reveals a vast amount of disagreement about whether he succeeded or not. Evidently he didn't do too good of a job at his attempt. If I rememebr correctly, Wasn't he proven to be one of the most corrupt of Eastern bloc dictators..? Like I said, I'm rusty on the subject. But, corruption isn't the point, since our economic and political system is also rife with corrupt characters, some of whom make no effort to hide it. |

When you are supposed to develop a working class euphoria and end up being one of the "have all's" and everybody else is a "have not". I really wouldn't say thats a good form of leading by example. But true, I suppose we do have more than our share of bilkers. |

It isn't going to be that difficult to defeat a Republican candidate who wants a "forever" war, says he has no real understanding of economics, and is the standard bearer of a political party that brought us the current recession, ignored the looming housing crisis, did nothing to even try to alleviate rising energy prices, is vehemently anti-science, and wants to deport 12 million Latinos. McCain is a decent man, and he is going to be slaughtered at the polls this November. |

A currant commercial says "McCain says we will be in Iraq for a thousand years". McCain did not say that, period, he said 100.. Now Billary is running fear monger ad's which of course they hated just last election...  Billary is lies, period. The New YorkLies should be dismissed for the comic strip it is... |

Of course, that article is not relevant to the concept in the article I posted. But considering what you are, this isn't surprising. |
