4. Invading Iraq, which was done without a proper UN mandate, hence the UN-bashing when the US didn't get close to getting what it wanted (no, the previous decade old resolutions were not sufficient, if they were the US wouldn't have been looking for a new resolution green-lighting the war in late 2002 and it wouldn't have got so shitty with France and the other countries in the Security Council that promised to veto any such resolution);
Pfft. give me a break
5. The other long-range missile treaties with Russia (originally signed in the 1970s, when it was part of the USSR), which it unilaterally scrapped almost as soon as it entered office.
what is this, 1986? who cares about russian missle treaties?
And that's just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head.
Face facts, when it comes to international relations, there's a lot that the Bush administration doesn't give a shit about. Pretend all you want, but the current US government has set back US-World relationships more than any other in history. It took all the goodwill and support the World had to offer after September 11 and either pissed it away or threw it back into people's faces.
Anti-US sentiment is rife, even in those countries whose governments had backed the US invasion of Iraq: In Britain 85 percent were opposed to war, In Australia it was over 80 percent and in Spain it was over 90 percent, and most of those in opposition were highly critical of Bush's motives. It turns out that they (and the rest of the World) were right to be.
It's not hard to find "Bush bashing crap". The man's done a lot of crap that's worthy of bashing.
OK, yeah, I'll be sure to forward your suggestions on to the arabs.
The ones that have changed colour are close to mines. This makes finding the mines easier, and it also makes it possible to find a safe route through the field by only looking at the colour of the plants.
Interesting, but I'm willing to bet most folks will opt to walk around these fields altogether.
...such a massive amount of freshwater pouring into the open seas from this hypothetical ice-melt would paralyze the salt sea heat transfer and actually COOL our planet.

I think most have developed Jakob Neilsen Blindess by this point and largely ignore the boxy triviality and utter uselessness of this crank's stale observations. Simplistic generalizations work to momentarilly hijack our attention, but end up just wasting everybody's time.
i gefinitebly regret having sold my Newton 8 yeans ago. Tbe best tbing you coulh do was change ohannels on airport TVs by flddling arouhd witb the IR port.
Obher than that tbe thing was pretty useless.
of course every bay area resident knows all san francisco sidewalks are just cram packed with millions of delicate pedestrians at every minute of the day.
I'm a 23 year old who drives a GMC suburban. Do i pose a greater risk petering down the sidewalk at 10 mph smiling and winking at the po walkin folks as I cruise by in chicness on my segway or brusing down the crowded aveneues cutting and weaving as I search for my dropped phish CD under the floor mat?
I hope Tony Ammmiano gets slammed by a Buick next week.
The ultimate irony.
