Betzee:

Truman created a framework to deal with the Cold War, GWB isn't leaving anything remotely similar for his successors.

Don’t you think that GWB started to freeze the US/Russia relation again with the missile base in Poland and the conflict in Georgia? I think he reversed the trust relationship…

Betzee, I understand very well.

BTW, I travelled to Cambodia twice last year for a business. I was surprised to see an Internet café in the middle of nothing, in a very poor village. ( No paved road) There were 3 young boys sitting in front of the computers. I…

SuperLib :

Is there some reason why she doesn't just send them an email? I can go to websites today and read bloggers in Iraq right now.

You presume that all the Iraqi people have the access facility to the Internet, while even in Europe or in America, there…

I just don't believe you.

You are dodging my question. I was not asking what were the religious sects existed in Iraq.
