The Framing of Peace ?
Posted by T Crowe Semler, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Thursday 17 January 2008 at 00:50 UAE time
As a citizen of the USA and Professor of Sociology I agree The Bush regime is a complete failure both domestically and in foreign relations / diplomacy. From the illegal war in Iraq to the sabotaged US economy / dollar. The number of "abject failures" is too long to list. I can not believe that his actions were due to ignorance, even though his IQ is 98. When a leader has the resources to access the greatest intellectuals in the world to give feedback on decision options for the challenges faced both domestically and internationally then chooses to listen to a group of "Neo-Cons" with radical world domination agendas the world has a big problem. This administrations ties to the oil corporations and the military industrial corporations have placed the whole World in grave danger so that the "power elite" may rake-in astronomical profits. Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condoleezza Rice, and George W. Bush should all have criminal charges brought against them including war crimes, high treason for the sabotage of the US economy and the dismantled US Constitution. Due to the "Patriot Act" the USA has been on the verge of Fascism. I have addressed these issues in my classroom and with my colleagues since the invasion of Iraq and the Patriot act. "Too little too late" maybe. However, Our focus is now on the new elections and a new leader for our country.

Great respect shown

This is amazing, the great respect shown by the leaders of the Middle East nations toward a leader of a nation that is not completely popular everywhere there. I am embarassed to say that our nation has not shown respect in this way for any leader from any nation. Even King Abdullah welcomed the President at the steps of Air Force One. The Middle East, a people who know the meaning of hospitality. Shukran.
