    Well, I don't think all royalty is a symbol of democracy. And I would agree that it sounds strange. But I think democracy in England formed around the royalty of England, so in that sense I can see some truth to the claim for Commonwealth countries it is a symbol…

    Alinsky4prez,

    I guess you could read it that way. What I more had in mind is that the Al-Qaida of popular imagination might not exist and that Al-Qaida might instead be something a little less terrifying than the amount of press it receives.

    It doesn't make any difference whether she stepped into Iraq 400 meters or not at all. Even if she had gone 400 meters into Iraq, she wouldn't have been to Iraq. Foreigners who are transit passengers at LAX haven't been to the US unless it was on another occasion.

    TonyUS,

    Long before it was Georgia, it was Iberia and Colchis. These were kingdoms and not states as we know them today. That land has been fought over, settled and resettled from time immemorial. So, putting your rudeness aside, no, I am not joking. I'll resist comment on the "no-brainer".…

    skipthesong,

    Why not?

    Point of clarification: I think I am talking about a never-ending story. Are you talking about a story that has an end? What is the end?

    However, I think you have missed the main point of the post, which is not about separatist movements but rather more…

    It is kind of a difficult problem, though, isn't it?

    That particular part of the world has resisted outside rule for centuries. Pakistan has not been able to control it and, in the meantime, it serves as a kind of Tortuga for terrorists.

    I'm 100% in favor of (peaceful) separatist…

    Sarge,

    How useless is it to come here and praise policies that have not yet succeeded, may never succeed and have--in the meantime--likely resulted in an increase in world terrorism?

    Madverts claims that Bush's approach to terrorism has amplified fundamental Islamic terror attacks. You draw the conclusion that Madverts means…

    moderateguy2008,

    There is no current presidential contender that would--or could--ignore terrorism and let terrorists do as they please. As long as there is a healthy cadre of the hunt-'em-down-and-kill-'em school (and there seems to be no current shortage of members) sufficient demand will always be placed on the President to…

    cleo,

    It's true that you don't need a crown on your head to be civil. But if you have a crown at the head it might raise the general level of civility. Obviously there are no guarantees.

    moderateguy2008,

    Those reports about weathering the crisis may be correct and I hope they are. We certainly don't need anyone to tell us, however, that "prosperity is right around the corner".
