  • Take China for example. What communist states all around the world crave is legitimacy. Since no one elected them they must somehow prove they have a mandate to rule. For Beijing, hosting the Olympics=presti ge. If the international community boycotted the opening ceremony of the Olympics as P.M. Merkel of Germany and perhaps Sarkozy plan, We would tie the prestige they desire to their behavior and perhaps effect a change. At this point the Chinese people will not tolerate going backward. "

  • I think you're right. One of the biggest problems our next president is going to face is what to do about the proliferation of biological and nuclear weapons in the 3rd world. Beyond that, how do we get the Islamic world to modernize? How do we get China to democratize and respect Human Rights? The world is a lot smaller than it used to be, and these problems all the more pressing.

  • Yea, I think it's a matter of time before the truth comes out. I can't see how Obama could have avoided Farrakhan. In N.J. we have a different problem, they think McCain is a neo-con! Far too liberal here! Still, when all is said and done he will win and bring some sanity back to this country!

  • Well spoken! I'm sure Wright had a profound influence on his core beliefs. Even though Obama is very adept at concealing them, no man is without a past. I'm sure we'll learn more as time marches on! I'd like to know if Obama met with Farrakhan at some point.

  • I wonder what Casey has to say about Rev. Jeremiah Wright showing up at a Catholic Church on the S. side of Chicago. Seems like some radical priest invited him -outrageous! I wonder how Catholics in PA are going to take to that?
