OT: maybe not so off topic...
 

wow, what a job title :eek: (taken from the article) :

"to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and the Republic of Maldives"

Try and fit that on a business card :p

Whatever is a Plenipotentiary

This is one of the most thoughtful arguments I have seen against the current war planning. i agree with most of the letter. I have left the subject as "maybe not so off topic", because all of these measures affect us, even those of us waiting on immigration processing. I think it's time for more Americans to be more vocal about the waste, red tape, and inefficiencies of our government. (And I am no "America basher", I am still glad that I live here...but not as much as I did in the past..)
