The reason I think people have a problem with Bush is the way he can come across on television. I know a lot of people, Tony Blair for example, say in private he comes across as very intelligent, but if you can't get that across on television it is hard for people to believe. Let me put my own example on this: As some of you may know I live in Northern Ireland, back in 1996 or 1997 (I forget the exact date) we had Bill Clinton make an offical visit to support the peace process. It was a very hopeful time for the province back then and Clinton's visit was seen as a momentus and positive event. I have never seen this place that welcoming of any foreign dignitary. Clinton was treated as a hero, he was swamped with well wishers when he took a walk down the Fall's Road, politicans were lining up to meet and talk with him and he addressed the crowd outside Belfast City Hall to a rapturous crowd. The man's personal charisma carried this off perfectly. He made it seem to everyone he met that he was going to make sure that America was behind us and it really seemed like he was going to make a difference for the country, and to this day he is still seen in a very favourable light here. However, compare this to Bush's visit earlier this year and the difference is extraordinary. He came to very little fanfare, the only reception he got from the local people were a couple of protesters on the motorway, local politicans were nowhere to be seen with the praise they had for Clinton. There was no meeting the people in the streets which was one of the defining images of Clinton's visit. He went to Hillsborough Castle, conducted his business, made a short statement and left. That is what I feel has lead to a lot of the ill feeling for Bush overseas, the feeling that he dosen't really care about anyone but America. Now, I can understand that, after all he was elected to lead the U.S., not Northern Ireland. However with the U.S. being the Hyperpower of the world, it is up to Bush to be seen to take the views of the rest of the world into account, or else why should the rest of the world listening to the U.S. Failing to sign up to the Kyoto agreement and the I.C.C. was the first step on that road. We have to wait and see what happens with the trade tariffs, if Bush is smart he will drop them to increase goodwill, but I wait with bated breath to see if that happens.

No way, there was some truly ground breaking and brilliant albums coming out at this time, for example, Bowie's Berlin Trilogy

I laughed out loud for marvel triple action so that gets my vote

How could you not love Pepe, he was one of my favourite charcters growing up. True, he never got the girl but he was just unspeakably cool.

Have to say Marney, I don't see what is quite that bad in that article. Apart from the usual "Israel is the only one at fault" line, it just seems to me that Muslims nations are worried for their future in a time were they are seen as a threat to west (somewhat unfairly in some cases, i think)

It was Assault on Precienct 13

Dosen't die from it though

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_ea...ast/3166388.stm I have to say i'm surprised, I didn't think Israel would hit a target outside their own borders. I know they have done it in the past, but the situation in the Middle East is already problematic enough without this.

Was just watching that the other nite, was going to add it myself. Bob Hoskin's acting in that scene is superb. My own personal choice is Death in Venice, a haunting moving picture with the pefect climax, if heartbreaking.

Does anyone know any of the candidates to replace the Pope? I read a list of some of the rumored top choices about 4 months ago, but I can't find it now.

I don't really mind that Halle Berry is playing Catwoman, but that costume is hideous

My Jean Michael Jarre collection is being played a lot at the moment, along with all the Japan reissues which i've just bought.

What did CJ get banned for?

Or maybe Britain should stay the fuck out of Northern Ireland. But isn't Britain supoosed to be in the Coalalition of the willing in the fight against terrorisim? Or are some terrorists more acceptable than others?

Just heard on the radio that Robert Palmer has died of a heart attack in Paris. Trying to get some more sources on this, but if it's true all I can say is RIP Robert

Confirmation on the BBC web site, so i'd guess it's true. How many famous artists is that now this year? Hard to believe

I don't really post in here much anymore, but I do look at the site at least once a day. Currently i'd say i'm mainly looking at the CE folder since it's the only one that still interests me (especially if I want to get realyy worked up about something).

I want to know why all these experts are so interested in animal genitals?
