Hey - Betting there is a Mr Universe, too. Plenty of men in the world also want to be judged on their looks. What is wrong with having a combination of both?

Hah!! I read the quote as they were posing with their children and thought 'wow, even the kids come along to G8 what a family event'. Obviously wrong. The dude on the left forgot to smile.

**Come November, let's hope you all step up to the plate and pick somebody worthy of being President of the United States.

That's the problem - they only ever get two to pick from. Confuses me how that is the best way to run a democracy.

I understand that - and support it. But pointing out the accuracy rate as a reason not to rely solely on the hair x-ray. I guess it's like the new vaccine here for cervical cancer - you still need regular pap smears. But that has to be the best advance…

I would want the accuracy rate to be much higher before I would rely on this - I mean mammograms are mis-read a lot as well but 69-75%...

Oh I'm not ungrateful, who wouldn't appreciate USA visiting to protect their own country - its the visit with different motives which annoys me. And the constant changing between "we are in (insert country) to protect them from themselves" to "we are in (insert country) to protect America".

Cleo - excellent point. In addition, in NZ/Helen Clark's case, if her man didn't accompany her everywhere, would it draw the same comments? I suspect not.

In places like Afghanistan and Iraq, many risk their lives every day to protect America

This sort of comment really irks me. If you want to protect America, stay in America and protect it from the inside. The day America visits my country to 'protect America'.....
