   Taiwan defends China referendum

It appears Bush is trying to suppress a Taiwanese referendum to please his new friends in China.... perhaps the Taiwanese should only be allowed Chinese style democracy?

Now I don’t normally like to post here in debate, but the local story about the 10 year old boy mauled to death by a tiger was giving me nightmares last night. As dreams would go, this debate item somehow entered the picture. It occured to me that if it were my son taunting the tiger, I think I’d tell him to stop.

Wow! I’m no expert, but you appear to be seeing Bush as a father figure. Dreams can be really weird at times!

Actually I think I see him seeing himself as a father figure. To me, he at least appears to believe he’s doing the right thing. Whether he is or not, only time will tell. Most other political figures leave me with the impression that they know they’re dishonest and corrupt. I don’t particularly care for that.

So Bush talks about Freedom and Liberty whist funding gross human rights abuses in places like Uzbekistan & Israel and you think he is not “dishonest”?

He hands out “lucrative” contracts to his buddies and you think he is not corrupt?

Wake up, you are dreaming!
