Gee the Afghans didn't have any problem telling the difference between an
Afghan and an Arab. The Arabs were the dead ones.

I think the real question is who is in control.

We work with both Musharaf and the some officials in Iran, however musharaf
is much more in control in Pakistan and the religious leaders are much more
in control in Iran. And don't think Pakistan isn't a problem, it is, just
read any news clip about the US soldiers in Afghanistan who keep
complaining about not being allowed to cross the border into Pakistan while
chasing al Qaeda. That's a fire in the making..

Being neutral isn't going to make much difference, Bush said it quite
clearly, either with us or against us.

Yes and no, the US imports more than it exports so that's not as important
as you might think.

Lets look at all six depressions:

1873-79 Ulysses S. Grant (1869-77) term limit,  Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-81)
1893-97 Grover Cleveland (1893-97)
1907-08 Theodore Roosevelt (1901-09) term limit 1920-21 Woodrow Wilson
(1913-21) term limit 1929-33 Calvin Coolidge (1923-29) Herbert Hoover
(1929-33) 1937-38 Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-45) term limit

I do believe people vote with their wallets, but then why was Roosevelt re-elected?
