whatever the system , to not vote at all in my book negates any weight to opinion you may come out with as you aren't prepared to do anything about it just expect others to do it for you.

I would of said it was perhaps just a british view, but having seen the turn out over there, you are in the minority.

That is not a Presidential decision, if they do come home I am sure he will take the credit and then deploy them to his next chosen target.

I assume that there are safeguards in place to prevent W from bringing the Doomsday Clock to midnight between now and January?

Fantastic news. I bet Bill Hicks has stopped spinning in his grave now. Or at least, changed direction of spin!
