I think the looks department isn't that far off. I think he has a good foundation that can be worked on with not much effort with some Hollywood makeup.

Actually you could.
We do have an example of a mortal man tackling as many problems, worse actually, and eventually through our country's determination, and his persistance, succeed. FDR.

Remove the doors in net Cafes.
They can be in cubicles, but there needs to be some ability for the owners to check up on the condition of their equipment, rooms, and the occupants.

Russians are still planning to stay in Georgia's S. Ossetia.
America and the old Soviet Republics aren't just nervous, every single country that had to fear the USSR in the past are nervous as heck.
NATO may either do a more bold move into Soviet Republics to deter Russian force, or shy away and let Russia dominate them.

Geopolitics is certainly not the word you'd use to support a claim that "Japan is Western".
However it is isolated from it's Asian neighbors due to conflicts and relys on outside support to present a stronger face and has adopted many cultural and economic standards from the West. It's it own hybrid of a nation.

This is really Georgia's foolhardy decision to invade South Ossetia. They should have instead pressured the Russian peacekeepers to be replaced by UN peacekeepers (since it's these Russian peacekeepers that process the South Ossetians into Russian citizenship), and settle for having the South Ossetians with Russian citizenships be deported.
I wonder if Russia is going to point at Kosovo's bid for independence as an example to justify annexing South Ossetia? Which is never an argument to justify these agressive actions, the "well if they can do it, so can we."

My strategy for Georgia would have been not to piss of Russia and give them any excuse, no matter how flimsy. Too late now though. However they could have solved their problem by deporting any Georgian citizen that took Russian citizenship as is the case in South Ossetia.
It would have looked ugly internationally, but a war with Russia would have been avoided with no seperatists left in the country to cause this conflict in the first place.

Thank you zurcronium. I always felt it never suited the Republicans to mock something true. Though I'll say the same with Democrats, but lately since 2003 I've been seeing a lot of ridiculous things coming from the political right. Though I'm sure the left is to blame for a few of their own.
However Obama is right, and the context of his comment was stretched to dishonest lengths by the Republicans responsible for the attack. Someone asked what we the people could do, on our own initiative, and Barack gave an honest answer.

Nuclear weapons is a point of no return when competition and conflict exhists between nations who own them. For it is the ONLY thing that prevents those particular countries going to war with each other. The Cold War could have been World War III without the threat of Mutual Assured Destruction.
For instance North Korea makes a lot more sense to invade if WMD's were an issue as was the case with Iraq. But having Nukes and the ballistic missiles to hit the US and it's allies essentially gave it immunity.
If a ban on Nuclear weapons means getting rid of them, it will never happen. It's your only protection against anyone else's nuclear weapons.

Regardless, a nuclear sub is docking. Monitoring for radiation leaks as usual. The protests at least keep the politicians more alert for the need of what is already in place. Monitoring.

Especially so, when considering he got ahead in the primaries because of his differences, probably the thing that would back him to have a shot at the presidency. Now though, he really is playing into Obama's hand.

I think the real tragedy for McCain, is how he has had to shelve his beliefs for the Republican party to be the nominee.
I recall him disagreeing with key economic decisions with President Bush and how the war was to be conducted, and now he has to reverse his disagreements to keep in line with how the Republican party wants him to be if he essentially wants campaign money, or be attacked non-stop by his own comrades.

The idea that having served in the military makes you a better a candidate than a person who doesn't, as some sacred rule, is false in my opinion.
Our current president served in the military and look how well he's handled Iraq.
Gen. Westley Clark made a comment recently, that just serving the military as a soldier doesn't automatically give you executive experience.
