Oh Spence, you crack me up. Did you see my posting on Ed Koch and Pres. Bush?
There have been plenty of points outlined by the repubs at the convention. Did you hear Giulani? How many prominent Dems are supporting Bush?
Eben, I don’t love Bush, may not even like him, but as I said over and over. I am employed, I feel the country is safer, I believe the US needs an aggressive military, I don’t care if other countries don’t like us. I don’t this we need a change. That’s why I support Bush.
As far as the Arab world’s view of us, here is an interesting story. I saw an interview of an Al-jazeera reporter on PBS. She was talking about the Abu Gharab prison scandal. She said the US is unaware of some of the downstream effects of this. Arabs know that prison abuse exists all over the Middle East, but, Al-jazerra broadcast 3 hours of the congressional panel looking into the scandal. Arabs saw Rumsfeld getting hammered with questions. They saw that in the US, people in high positions are ACOUNTABLE. They have NEVER seen anything like that before. They have never seen Middle East leaders have to explain their actions. What they witnessed was a little thing called Democracy.
