Which does wonders for political stability, I mean hell its not like we hear of a government having to be restructred all the time...
Look the EC works, the US is not europe. And if third parties want representation they can always run lawmakers (how bad could a green do in Berkely?)
The US system give 3rd parties more than enough oppertunity to make laws and play a part the problem is they are all so fringe nobody votes for them..
wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, tell ya what next time say fuck some more it really makes you come across as someone who knows what they are talking about...
Yes if you compleatly rewrite the constitution you can create a federal republic from a direct democracy, of course in order to do that every state will have to re-join the union..
Are you kidding we cant get people to puch the whole in the right place, I can see an 80yo loving this system.
The best option would be a stand alone touch screen system (with big ol' picturesof the guy) and have the computer generate a 'recepit of the vote' for the polling place in case a manual recount needs to be done. When polls close each maching would generate a reports with its total vote and a list of who voted for what and that would be manually tabulated. In the even of another flordia the receipts could be used to recount..
I am all for touch screen voting with huge pictures of the candidates, electronic voting is a great idea but if I am reading this they are centralizing the results? wtf thats adding way too much risk just make good stand alone systems..
Recognizing the threat Iraq's non-compliance with Council resolutions and
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles poses to
international peace and security,
Recalling that its resolution 678 (1990) authorized Member States to use all
necessary means to uphold and implement its resolution 660 (1990) of 2 August
1990 and all relevant resolutions subsequent to resolution 660 (1990) and to restore
international peace and security in the area,
Deploring the fact that Iraq has not provided an accurate, full, final, and
complete disclosure, as required by resolution 687 (1991), of all aspects of its
programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles with a
range greater than one hundred and fifty kilometres, and of all holdings of such
weapons, their components and production facilities and locations, as well as all
other nuclear programmes, including any which it claims are for purposes not
related to nuclear-weapons-usable material,
Yale students are at the extreem end of the scale. To be low there is to be well above average nationally. My GRE was the 92% percentile, nationally that would put me somewhere in the 99% range and I just went to a state school.
He was not just above the averge he was more than 25% over it (keep in mind that in the 60's not everyone took the SAT only those intending to go to college which was a much smaller % of the population than today).
Your proof he is of average intelligents is that he was below the median at *YALE*, pardon me if I dont buy that as some kind of "proof" he is just average. I bet a C student at Yale has more upstairs than B students at some other university.
Having a daddy will get you into yale, or a good school (like Gore and Kerry), But it will not get you an SAT 30% above the national average, nor will it fly a jet for you..
The UN continued to ignore violatios by Iraq of the ceasefire condition laid down in 1991, these included targeting planes in the no-fly zone, kicking out inspectors in 1998, and mis-using the oil for food program.
The US, UK, Italy, Poland and others decided to do something about as the UN (France and Russia who were owed money by Saddam) refused to act on the multitude of threats it put to Iraq. Finally the US did something about it, if the UN had enforced its own mandates peharps the burden sharing would be a such that the us had the capacity to move into the Sudan.
Do you mean industrial pollution? Look the topic of the war in Iraq is fair game but its the way more edits and slants his material that makes it not a documentary (any more than a Bush/Kerry TV commercial is a documentary).
I did not support the war but I also did not support endless sancations and inaction by the UN while they scammed money for oil, err I mean oil for food..
The average in 1966 was about 1050, GWB got a 1200. His scores were below the median for *YALE* students, hardly a dumb crowd.
I was kind ticked when I was only in the 92% when I took my GRE exams. When I looked at it differently I realized that mean of kids trying to get into grad school I had a better score than 92% and that was pretty good.
Simple- it was politically impossible to lift sanctions while Saddam Hussien was still in power- the point of the Iraq war was to make the lifting of sanctions possible.
Are you kidding France/Russia were practically begging for it the only member of the UN Security counsil with a Veto who was a firm no was the US.
No, but THEY HAVE OIL! And thus are Blessed by the Lord!
Umm he is not my hero, hell I am not even voting for him. But due to the fact the UN would do nothing other than throw paperwork at Iraq we are a little comitted there right now.

The UN did sancation it via multiple "or else" resolutions they just refused to do anything about it..
Is it possible to buy a degree? maybe but it sure did not work for Gore. But I dont care who your father is it wont fly a jet for you..

I dont think so if bush can "sell" a war he could have sold an end to sanctions..

Um THe SUdan does have Oil, they just joined OPEC
Ok spunky, how does the war in Iraq benefit any oil compnay more than lifting sancations would have..
3. Those people in the Sudan aren't True Christians (tm) and so they don't matter.
And the Suni, and Kurds are tru Christians?
