      The inability to speak in public does not make you moron. Heck, the man may be brilliant when you sit and talk with him.

        OK, since Bush has been labeled a "moron", I was curious to know if there are any great leaders in the world today? It's easy to poke, and its funny and all, but I'd seriously like to know who is a great political leader right now. Cretien? Blair? Schroeder? Hussein? Putin? Mbeki? Jiang? Howard?

          hmmmmm I'm not sure. Maybe there should be 2 arrows, one for each Michel It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

              Sounds like a smart fellow. And knighted, I see. With the exeption of a much debated Bush, no one named a single leader who is currently in office. pretty scary stuff.

Possibly only on reflection will we see how a leader was truly smart. Tricky Dick Nixon from all accounts was very smart when not suffering from delusions. To have the charisma to become a leader and to be smart as well seems to be really rare. Possibly in the past when the media was more "pliable" some leaders faults were easily covered. Nowdays we can put leaders under a lot of scrutiny. Regardz Colin J Davies

So, I will ask again, what are we supposed to do if we cannot defeat them and our legal system prevents us from taking actions domestically? Join them? Give up? Hire Islamic consultants to overhaul our civilization? What? Besides, I have never believed that anyone can defeat terrorism as long as it is treated as terrorism. If, instead, you confront those governments and societies which are ultimately responsible for terrors organizational structure and destroy them, the organized terror will be destroyed along with them. Will that end terrorism? No, but it will end armies of organized terrorist roaming the globe at will. If you are not willing to do that, than you had better quit worrying about the 4th amendment.

GWB's been screwing around for over a year and Saudi Arabia is still happily send money to OBL's gang. GWB's priorities are misplaced. On that we agree completely. Although I would be amazed if Hussein were not up to his elbows in the support of terrorism, the Saudi's are clearly the cornerstone of support for Islamic terrorism. The faster we go for the juggler the sooner this crap will be over. Still, I find it hard to blame Bush on this score. If he were to even hint that Saudi Arabia was in our sights it would send our allies packing and the international economy into a tail spin.
