The clerical dictatorship in Iran wants the defeat of President Bush because his commitment to political democracy in Afghanistan, Iraq and his endorsement of freedom for the people of Iran threatens a regime that knows it is deeply unpopular.

Both dictatorships have plans that could result in visible and sharp foreign policy setbacks that might cost President Bush the 2004 election.

Having Gitmo sitting there staring him in his face must really stick in his craw.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
It sure does. Think I'll mix up another Cubalibre just before the game and toast all those Marines and sailors serving at Gitmo.

The Bush administration is becoming increasingly concerned about what it sees as a joint effort by Cuba and Venezuela to nurture anti-American sentiment in Latin America with money, political indoctrination and training.
I see you point!
