US politics has always scared me.

Often wonder what would have happened in Al Gore had made President, especially considering his work about Global warming since (don't know where he stands on GBLT sorry).

There have been several scary things, like trying to pass a resolution in the UN to prevent US forces being tried for war crimes under the Geneva convention, following the tragedy of 9/11, and again before the invasion of Iraq.

The fact that in Afghanistan, there are some US troops which do not have to obey the NATO rules of engagement and others that do (meaning when they don't the whole NATO forces get tarred with the same brush).

Sorry I don't know much of the internal workings of US politics, I assume the current round of elections is to decide who will be the candidates to stand for President when Bush finishes his second term?

love and hugs

Default just in case we think its our government

A comment about the anticipated senate vote of no confidence on Gonzales:

"They can try to have their votes of no confidence, but it's not going to determine who serves in my government"

President George W Bush (from the BBC news site)

Silly us, we thought HE worked for US.
