The Swiss promised to sniper shoot every German officer who entered their country. No enlisted guys, just officers. And since every male over the age of 16 was required to practice and submit target results every month and of course was required to own arms and ammo, this was no bluff

Oh come on the Germans could have invaded Switzerland in a week. They didn't need to since the Swiss were basically on nazi's side.

Whew all around the world, English the language of business and commerce, but you are so afraid that it is dying, when it has already become the world language.

It takes the US and South Korea billions of dollars each year to maintain it and it also takes a conscripted South korean army of 750,000 to man it. Now multiply the money and manpower by 20 and you have your "dream" of a sealed border.

This is a bunch of baloney. South Korea is protecting its borders from an invasion from a North Korean Army! We only need to stop "mostly" un-armed people from entering our country. America is the most technologically advanced nation in the world. Put a little faith in your fellow countrymen to find the needed solution. Maintaining the mindset that "it cannot be done" will guarantee it never will be.

Maybe the idea is that we hand the country over to Fox and friends, and US citizens will move to the moon and Mars. Hey, that's not a bad idea when you think about it. All we needed was some overpowering reason to colonize outer space, and this might just be it.

It was not because the Swiss for pro-Napoleonic, or pro-Kaiser, or pro-Hitler, or pro Mussolini that saved them from invasion over the years. It was because every neighbor in Europe was well aware that the Alps as well as the citizens and government of Switzerland would contest such an action in the most brutal way if they tried.

Bush Tries to Mend Ties With Mexico

When is Mexico going to try mending ties with the US? Why is the onus always on us to make nice with them?

Oh great! Then the cause of global warming will be from American space colonialism and they will throw large rocks and debris at us which will fall back to earth, hitting them in the heads. The few survivors will be living in Spider holes and will meet on solar powered walkie talkie phones once a month to decide who's turn it is to be king of the world and who gets to hide Iraq's WMD's from the moon's spy satellites.

Bush and Fox both want a European Union kind of thing How do you feel about Fox and all the other Latin American leaders rotating in the presidency of such a thing?

Is this a word association type of question? If so then my answers are; Alex Trebek, MRE's, Lost Continent, Lee Loader, Camino del Diablo and One Life to Live. (I never could give just one answer...Lay's Potato Chips!)

I agree. Fox's BS about no borders should have been the phrase that made GWB planted his boot on Fox's ass. I do not like this whole immigration plan, and this crap with Fox is getting me pissed.

Anyone who's married or been married knows the answer to your silly question. The human condition requires that those least complicit apologise and continue to do so on a constant basis for anything which may or may not be real, that which is self inflicted, or anything a psychologist you've never met say's is your fault.

I didn't bother to mention the post apology consequences. Once the apology is offered, those least familiar with any points relevant to the offense contact your people and demand compensation, using your apology as a weapon.

Bush's recent Africa spree was the compensation phase of the Clinton issued apology.

"Never apologise and never give up"- Churchill(my dog)

My dog(Churchill) uses that same rule on all threats. Skunks, cats, horses, sheep, porcupines, snakes, rats, groundhogs, and anything which seems out of place.

It's his terra firma and anything on it gets no apology for anything. Any mess said threat may create in his back yard is rolled in thoroughly so that he is reminded of the foulness of those who would do him harm.

Needless to say, on a farm he's constantly on code orange. But it gives him something to do.

Today I heard the Chairman of the California Democrat Party criticize Bush because he is not demanding that the Fox extradite Mexicans wanted for murder or other high crimes in the US. If the dems were smart they would run to the right of GWB on this issue just as Kennedy did with Nixon in 1960, claiming that the US was not spending enough on armaments to fight communism. We know, of course, it would merely be campaign fodder but it just might work for them as it did for Kennedy.

I know whatchya mean. Listening to democrats banshee-like banter is like up is down and fast is stop. They've been stood on their heads.

Keep the tape rolling and don't stop for anything. Nobody would believe what they are saying if you didn't have it on tape.

We may be witnessing the entire destruction of the democrat party. Or is it democratic party for some odd reason? I mean there is no republicanic party?

They are like monkeys with machine guns in a crowded cage right now. Bush just keeps feeding them more oranges and ammo clips. Last one standing is the new minority leader of a microminority consisting of Pickled Ted and a spare liver donor.

I don't think it would work...all of us remember the influx and pandering under Clinton, plus his signing of NAFTA. They'd have a hard time making us believe they've changed their minds on the issue.
