    Round about the same time someone faked his birth cetificate. From what I've seen the only people who'll swear to remembering Barrack being born where in Kenya where he has a valid birth certificate. ;)

        By the lack of US weapons... Hey, how do you sink a Pakistani battleship? Put it in water. And over in India a monk drives over a dog and turns to the owner saying "I'm terribly sorry, but my karma ran over your dogma."

          I can offer nothing to the argument about how to help. As you say you understand the problems only a little and you live there! It is a sad state of affairs, but maybe a benevolent dictatorship would improve the lot of the average man?

          Who amongst us is truly benevolent? I wouldn't even want Nelson Mandela the benevolent dictator.

                  So do I. First it became a 10 pin bowling alley. Then a Kwik Save. Next a carpet warehouse. Now it's a Wetherspoon's.

                    My First Act as Viceroy of India would be to teach them to type "Please Help Urgently" Failure to spell correctly would result in debroadbandization (a horrible Dubyaism).

                                    Hawaii freely joined the union back in 1959. That's a major difference between the way of thinking in the ol'Europe and the US. (Sic Semper Tyrannis!)
