I wonder whatever happened to congresssional "freedom fries"...

Ordinary Americans living in Europe had a tough time last coupla years. Some of their comments:

You’ve finally brushed up on all American history, geography, current events, the Constitution and its amendments, and international policy (OK-Iraq) just to be able to participate intellligently in light daily conversation with your neighbors.

You’re no longer uncomfortably startled when your friends inquire, “So, did you vote for Bush?” Then quizzed, “I’m not sure about the American electoral college process – could you tell me exactly how it works, and why you think America will or will not continue using it? How does gerrymandering work?” Wah?

To link President Bush with the mistakes made by a few enlistees at Abu Ghraib is a stretch. While I believe Bush is an ineffective leader, I side with Nabetz in the belief that Pres. Bush was sincere in his remarks to Eagle TV.

You don't have to look as far away as Guantanamo or Iraq to see examples of the hypocrasy of Bush's statements. In the U.S. itself, neither human rights nor human dignity are guaranteed; millions of citizens go hungry and homeless while the government pours money into its misguided endeavors overseas.
