"If it weren't for Bush's determination...there is no telling where this country would be in the war on terrorism today!"
Truer words have never been written!
Takes my breath away.
I'm off to finish A LOT of reading before bed . . . Night all!
Great articles as always
I just pray that he can get us through the next two years.
I fear for us under Democrat leadership.
I did that in Boston LOL
Snugs, those pictures are great! I also loved the architecture, but I am not very good at taking pictures. For example, my pictures of the arc de triomphe (sp) have the nose and head of one of my companions coming in on the right side! You'd think I'd have noticed that when I was taking them, but no.
I do have one rather nice picture of two beautiful multiple-story buildings on either side of a street in downtown Paris which turned out well, surprisingly, and which now hangs on my wall
I did spent time in the Gardens in London and found this. Very odd. Is this a common tree in the UK? LOL
Do you still have your copy of Monday's NY Post. The Taheri article is a keeper.
Final paragraphs:
Last month, Iraq received the U.N.'s special environmental prize for reviving parts of the marshes drained by Saddam, thus saving one of the world's most precious ecological treasures. Almost no one in the media noticed.
Also last month, the Iraqi soccer squad reached the finals of the Asian Games - beating out Japan, China, South Korea and Iran. Again, few in the West noticed.
In 2006, almost 200 major reconstruction projects were officially completed and 4,000 new private companies registered in Iraq. But few seem interested in the return of private capitalism after nearly 50 years of Soviet-style control.
Iraq's new political life is either ignored or dismissed as irrelevant. The creation of political parties (some emerging from decades of clandestine life), the work of Iraq's parliament, the fact that it is almost the only Arab country where people are free to discuss politics to their hearts' content - these are of no interest to those determined to see Iraq as a disaster, as proof that toppling Saddam was a modern version of the original sin.
Iraq may still become any of those things - but right now it is none of them. When the real history of the Iraq war is written, posterity might marvel at the way modern media were used to manufacture that original sin.
Congrats on your toaster win.
Snugs, thanks for the trip to Sanity Island, enjoyed the trip and enjoyed the trip to Paris. Was nice seeing Mrs. Bush in front of the Monet painting.
They keep people down so that they have power over them.
If conservative values would be applied to urban areas there would be very few people dependent on government, and that would remove both power and money from the Jesse Jacksons of the world.
it looks like they are in some kind of box!!!!
wow, that's table full of snacks in that last picture!!!
