Belarus. ...? What have they done, I'd be astonished if they could find the place on a map.

Iran is next, check ouy S Hersch's article in this week's New Yorker. Would happen this spring but the Iraqi resistance is making freeing up troops too hard. Won't be a proper invasion like Iraq as Iran is much bigger and much much stronger militarily.

Not that I support proliferation, but imagine what Iran feels. US on one side (Afghanistan), US on the other (Iraq) and Israel close by. Perhaps if we didn't talk incessantly about 'regime change' other countries would calm down a bit?

I always wonder whether they'd be stupid enough to go that far. Still, solve the problem of the next big election in 2 years time for the Dems, wouldn't it?

Bob

Aye....what have the done? only person I can think of from there is a tennis player anyway...

Bob

Aye, would be scary, but then again, if most of the population has been shipped out and they ignore there votes, it's one way to keep themselves in...

I think that Bush must have done "pin the tail on the donkey" with a map of the world for the later three countries...

I'm having nightmares now. I can just see the coronation of Jeb Bush.

Bob

tell me about it...

Bob

Aye, that should be scary...but as for SS...just as long as they hold off on the draft for another year and a month, or there abouts, and I won't care

Cuba and Burma eh, those evil world superpowers. It'll not be long before Fidel kicks the bucket anyway and it'll be all change - the only reason why the US has got such a bee in its bonnet about Cuba is that their (US) self imposed embargos is stopping them getting a piece of the tourist development industy (and letting the germans and canadians control it ) as for Burma, ?

But think of the opportunity you'd miss bringing freedom to the world. Gets you an instant pass through the Pearly Gates (or maybe 50 virgins -- I never can remember which side's which). Sure you'd do us all proud! What a pity I first arrived in the States too late to have enrolled in this worthy organization.

See and there was me thinking this was a cooking thread! I used to be married to an Irainian many moons ago, and they did cook & eat good rice. Best thing to come out of that marriage was how to cook rice well.

I'll get me coat then.

Well there's a skill not to be scoffed at.

Bob

Aye....though I'd rather pass on the offer myself
