So President Bush hasn't been the best president the US has ever had, but he's definitely not going to be the worst. We have many many presidents to look foward too, and if people don't get out and vote, then we'll just have a repeat of what we're going through now.

Why hate Bush? He's only doing his job. No doubt it's a hard one. We don't have to agree with him, much less like him, but we should stand by him. After all he is our president. Imagine what it looks like to other counties who see us as Americans hate on our own president....

I am not a Bush supporter, but I'm not a hater either.

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has proposed a Constitutional Amendment changing the eligibility requirements for president. He would remove "natural born citizen" and replace it with the requirement that the president be a natural born citizen or a naturalized citizen for at least 20 years.

As a thought experiment, I wonder how the message behind 'brave new world' would change if instead--the follwing happened: a liberal nazi comes to rule the USA--where it depicts a gay nazi ruler of the 'world institution'

The world institution, is a reformed world order after the 'collapse' which woule have happened in 2018, after a skirmish with China over resources and global economic downturn after a nuclear detonation in Washington with no culprit in sight. In the downturn, there is a shortage of water in the midwest and California due to global warming, causes a cesation from the union, followed by Texas. Thus causing America to become the 'shattered Union.' The one who obtains power in America in the east, is a liberal professor who takes over the goverment and is an extremist, and tries to 'pacify' and 'sterilize' any threat to the already 'shattered union.'

The professor makes it mandatory for tolerance and complete conformity to the norm to become punishable by

Carter's new book:

Carter emphasizes that “Christian and Muslim Arabs had continued to live in this same land since Roman times,” but he ignores the fact that Jews have lived in Hebron, Tzfat, Jerusalem, and other cities for even longer. Nor does he discuss the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab countries since
1948.

Carter repeatedly claims that the Palestinians have long supported a two-state solution and the Israelis have always opposed it. Yet he makes no mention of the fact that in 1938 the Peel Commission proposed a two-state solution with Israel receiving a mere sliver of its ancient homeland and the Palestinians receiving the bulk of the land. The Jews accepted and the Palestinians rejected this proposal, because Arab leaders cared more about there being no Jewish state on Muslim holy land than about having a Palestinian
state of their own.

He barely mentions Israel’s acceptance, and the Palestinian rejection, of the U.N.’s division of the mandate in 1948

Anti-Semitism in Berlin, especially towards young Jews, appears to be on the rise. The capital's Central Council of Jews has received many complaints from Jewish parents whose children have been verbally and physically abused at school or on the street, according to a November announcement from Gideon Joffe, the council's chairman.

Since the start of the year, Berlin's police have registered 190 anti-Semitic incidents, up from 123 in 2003 and 146 in 2004 (2005 saw 272 incidents, but many of these were the work of a single right-wing extremist). The most recent incident was on November 19th in Tempelhof, when players in a youth football team hurled anti-Semitic insults at members of the opposing, Jewish team. Mr Joffe said many of the attacks were seemingly carried out by Muslims from immigrant families, whereas in the past Germans were mostly to blame.

I have heared that JEWS are the smartest people on earth, much smarter than the brahimns from India.
One of this must be true
Are Jews smarter because of the Covenent (promise) that Jehova GOD made with their ancestors.
OR
Is it just that Jews were from the begining one group of smart people who were smart enough to write the Bible and through a jew named Jesus spread their GOD to the world.

Feel free to express your views.
