Yup. Keep up the good work Bushie. Put a liar incharge of the World Bank. Just keep alienating the world against us.

I believe Dubya foretold of this event in his recent Inaugural Address.

Hmmm.....anyone read the recent NY Times article citing evidence of "controlled looting" immediately following the initial invasion? Iraqis who new exactly what to get and where to get it to protect it from discovery.

Personally, I doubt the NY Times runs with that story unless they know some irrefutable evidence of the WMD is about to be released.

Just my opinion. Which I state regularly.

I haven't. Can you please link it?

I am so glad you do. What a boring board/world this would be if we all thought exactally alike.

Here ya' go.

I wanted to say I am so very sorry for not replying earlier. I saw this link at work and I kept getting interupted. I have every intention of reading it tomorrow when I am a bit more awake. I am not avoding it.

Who cares about the rest of the world? Only like 4% of Americans have passports.
;)

Actually according to Department of State numbers there are about 60 million passports meaning that about 20% of Americans have passports. And I imagine that number would be much higher if going to Mexico or Canada required the possession of one. We can travel our whole continent without needing a passport. Until recently a German couldn't drive in a straight line for more than a few hours without needing one.

The 20% is similar to passport possession in Canada which is a bit closer to 25%.

Here's at least one lefty who doesn't think Wolfowitz heading the World Bank will be such a terrible thing.

Interesting editorial on it. Interesting speculations...

Actually, my post was more of a joke about the overflowing patriotism that keeps Americans from leaving the US... But thanks for the info.

However, I do think 20% is still low. More people should travel out of country or at the very least out of their own state. Is that 20% who own them or 20% who own and use them to travel outside of the US?
