I'm leaning towards ending the embargo on Cuba, but I don't see it destroying Castro's regime easily. Communism will end in Cuba when Fidel dies and the younger Communists go to war with Castro's brother. Then at the end, we can offer help to areas damaged. One thing I'm an advocate of is following Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11, of the US Constitution, when it comes to Congress only having the power to declare war

Term limits for congress is impractical. But with large numbers of new members and all that, there's potential for lots of sudden change. Which may not be that great. On a state level, term limits work. Since a lot of state legislators can move up to larger jobs or they can do something else.

I was refering more to troops, medics and special forces. Not business contracts. But if you were refering to troops also. Then I guess that's bad news for Armenia, who will be joining us in Iraq soon. I guess they're getting spoils after doing nothing. Then again, I'd like it if there were individuals, from where-ever, who would work to help Iraq and help make it peaceful. It's a tough job too. It's too short-sighted to just focus on two nations. I'm sure there's capable troops out there to relieve the burden on American troops. The full quote, which the Washington Times doesn't mention, is "Now, does that mean allies are going to trade their young for our young in body bags? I know they're not, and I understand that. What it means is that we have to get them to take on different roles" Yeah.. nations won't be limited to just troops and yeah.. nations won't be tempted if their only option involves a huge risk. The exceptions are out there. Jordan would be a useful ally. I know the Saudis won't do anything. But then again, what about a nation like Egypt. They're a nation which we give huge amounts to aid to. There's ways to persuade them. Even if it may inflame some of the more terroristic groups. How about Turkey too?

well.. didn't the major combat operations end in Iraq? Wouldn't these nations be participating in the reconstruction efforts.. stuff that gets Iraq on their feet. I think we have the potential to get some nations in to relieve the burden on America. 87% of Coalition troops in Iraq are Americans. Not to bash the nations there, because many of them are giving as much as they can, but we can do better and build on this coalition. I think the closest thing to a Muslim-majority state helping us in Iraq is Azerbaijan. There's Muslim states hostile to the idea of rebuilding Iraq, but there have to be more that would welcome a stable Iraq, especially for the purpose of trade. Although i see how some of the countries aren't fans of democracy, but I'm sure there's willing states. Anyways, even if the war was a bad idea, that doesn't mean we shouldn't help Iraq right now. We should make the best of this situation in Iraq.

Will the deadly ink factor in to this?

It would be closer to a perfect response had Bush not talked over the moderator of the debate to make it it's Red meat but Bush's base isn't enough for a victory anyways. But there's some people who wouldn't mind saying the President was "wild-eyed" and all that. Bush in his 30 seconds didn't have enough time to start naming off all the nations before screaming.

Is there anything in the agreement about shouting down a moderator? http://www.oliverwillis.com/stuff/bushflipsout.wmv

here's another moment which should stick out Bush basically talks over Gibson, ignoring him, and he goes on a rant.

Cerebus.. the president can give you some wood if you need it

now my sig is an experiment.. but yeah.. no John Lennon ass.. ok?

since there's internets.. are we on the internet which turns the hearts of children black? or are we on the pussy internet?

Mike.. that progress better involve getting some pants on John Lennon

this may have been mentioned.. but regarding the "Need some wood" line:

The best or hardest questions for each guy.. the patriot act guy was interesting so was the one asking Kerry on Abortion I don't think Bush really answered the question on the woman who talked about our stature in the world and what we'd do. and Bush exposed us to the secret evil of fertility clinics I sorta consider this debate as "Dueling Speeches"

Coulter v. Begala on CNN RIP Paul

from the Fox poll: "You must accept cookies to vote. Displaying current results." hmm.. ok

Now you tell me that..

oh no.. it's Greta!

the only big difference between a WWE poll and other polls was that the WWE polls let you vote as many times as you pleased. Remember the time that Test was named by a poll as the 4th member of Evolution?

Care to provide a link? I am not seeing it on the front page. -=Mike Under "On the Record"

these haters!

One way to reduce abortions is to ban some of them. Bush's anti-slavery stance may make South Carolina a swing state. j/k

and for reference for the guys like me who aren't from there in other words.. it's basically two parties down there, right?
