It's still their natural right to examine with and demand changes, and that's a sacred right of a nation and shall not be stopped -- fact of histoy. You may put caps on bubbles for the short term but......
Happy Easter VO, and many happy returns. Goodness knows I'd never be so brash as to use direct personal attacks on such a lovely evening...
Official title for the Burmese Junta: State Peace and Development Council Formerly: State Law and Order Restoration Council Sounds like some of the departments I have to deal with at work.
Well, I guess thats ok as long as he is aware of the climate change that is occuring instead of completely disregarding it People never give him enough credit for his activism.
It was a nice day over all. Especially when a US club soccer team won the Dallas Cup under 19 super division for the first time ever.
At first look, two at most; probably only one (King Abdullah). Keep in mind that the fact that a few of these dictators get help from democratic countries does not mean that they will be out of power if the support stops. A quick count also shows that about 3/4 of the dictators on the top 20 list are being opposed by some/many democratic countries. If you agree with the list, it shows that democratic countries have cut down a great deal in their support of "worst" dictatorships over the last 25 years.

You know, it doesn't look like I will ever get on that list. What a bummer. I guess the ambitions of our youth all too often fall prey to reality. Well I've read a bit of Mussolini and I've read a bit of Gore, and let me tell you Gore isn't anywhere close.
Leaving Mussolini and Gore aside, who do you guys think is the last US president who may accurately be described as 'a great intellectual'?
