Better yet, will the Prime Minister unequivocally reaffirm that his opposition to the war stands? Will he unequivocally state that Canada is not now, nor has ever been, a member of the 'coalition of the willing'? I know Chretien strongly opposed the war, but I'm not so sure about Paul Martin. He seems

I know you and I bump heads alot, but politically and philosophically we are not that far apart "I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend." -Romulan commander in classic Star Trek episode Balance of Terror
Actually your rating of our president means little or nothing. I was just saying that it is too early to rate Bush, because A: his second term isn't even near over, and B: we don't know how the war in Iraq will end.
In Bush's first term he liberated Afghanistan and Iraq, reformed public education, and passed a significant tax cut that turned what could have been a depression into a mild recession. Well, it is too early to rate Bush, mostly because his term isn't over, and the job in Iraq isn't done yet. If he fail
25. George W. Bush- The 9/11 attacks broke him from his scheduled four year vacation. He brought the nation together and put together and went after the terrorists directly in Afghanistan. From there it goes downhill. He pulled troops from Afghanistan prematurely in order to prematurely invade Iraq. Once in Iraq there were
the article, and indeed most of the posts above ignore the possibility that there are some areas in which women may be better suited than men I recently saw on a TV show that females who joined the Air Force on average have a higher tolerance for G-forces than males, which would make them better suited

Though I have to say I didn't really expect/want it to degenerate into a Right/Left bashing party. I would agree. The original post was very good, NJ. At first it was a serious look into why people on the edges of the poitical spectrum have trouble seeing through the eyes of people on the other edge.
Thanks. That was niggling at my brain for a long time.
But it's the kind of stuff I expect from mother nature. It's the kind of stuff I expect from man. The Holocaust, Hiroshima, Rwanda, Sudan, just to name a few. Mother Nature just doesn't come close to man when it comes to killing. "Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean l
Interesting (and a bit morbid) comparisons between 9/11 and the tsunami, in terms of horror and magnitude. I just have to ask, would the tsunami have been more horrible if killed 180,000 people in say, Florida? And would 9/11 have been less horrible if it had happened to the Petronas Towers? Does how close it is to you affect how horrible a disaster is?
Unlike the Mason character, she probably has no real world equivelent. I think its ridiculous that the game had to stoop to using first ladies as candidates. Then again, if I'm not mistaken, there's never been a female who has even won a primary for President. Can you please enlighten me as to who exac
yep latour I do appreciate the simplicity of a simple go f yerself too... Oh my God we are agreeing again This is starting to happen way too often...maybe...we're not so different, you and I... I guess I need a new archnemisis </fon
Call me old fashioned, but I like Cheney's good, old, reliable "Go F*ck yourself" I also like Pierre Trudeau's "Fuddle-duddle"

"Naturally the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

I don't think so. Her and Arnold were pretty much thrown in for fun. But aside from a lack of experience, she is probably the best dem. A Chloe/Clinton ticket is probably about the best you can get with default characters.
Bush is an inept President whose intelligence is quite suspect, which is more than can be said for his foreign policy, or lack thereof. I guess us liberals need to stick together, eh?
Ya know folks...I think we proved a point here. We CAN have a civilized, constructive cross party discussion on JU. Wow. I didn't even realize it! Personaly, I would lo
Try again. If this was true then GW would have gotten *some* of the CA EC votes. As it stands he got none. I am saying that hypothetically, if all states were to adopt this system, the election would be decided in large states, such as CA. 55 electoral votes/100% possible (unrealistic but possible) pop
The method that was voted upon in Colorado I believe was going to be split by the popular vote. If the whole nation did that, the election would be decided by states with odd numbered electoral votes and those where a candidate can get at least 60 % of the EC vote. Or California, where each 2% is worth
Excellent article, Champas. I also find that 99% of my opinions fall on the left or at least center-left except for affirmative action. Economic Left/Right: -7.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.54 I was surprised to see that so many people were in the top right, especially Paul Martin. I figured he would be a bit more bottom left, but I suppose everything is relative to wh
Yikes! (Imagine Jack Layton showing up at Mr. Harper's door and being greeted with gunfire. ) Even better: Ralph Klein getting shot by Stephen Harper. That makes one of them dead and the other in jail. 2 for 1!
