I think they will win the battle for Iraq, and loose the entire war against Islam which will result. Israel is a mess with that shit...were next.
As a libertarian, Ashcroft, Cheany and club scare me, but not as badly as a weak kneed modern liberal with the way the world is today. France can go to hell, we want stable oil prices and a safer Israel. I LIKE my Cherokee. My kids like to waterski. I do not want to drive a eurobox because oil is $80 a barrel 'cause Sadam or anybody else wants to fuck with Persian Gulf Oil politics.
Beginning under Clinton, and more so under Bush, Castro is now striking deals with American farmers and PAYING the bills on time and in cash. Everybodies happy. In Florida, shrewd biz types are already grabbing thier slice of the pie in Cuba. Hell, the mayor of Tampa went, met with Fidal and ate dinner with him.
I think Castro won. Whatever he won. Cuba will join the 21st century soon.
Iraq is a bigger mess waiting to be uncorked.
