...been taken in by the propaganda of the radical Islamists. Viva the U.S.! Tapumaneyi Jongwe Johannesburg I presume that you chose Bush more for his negative achievements-of which there are many-than for anything constructive. In fact, I can't think of anything positive he has done, except to deceive the American people into voting him into a second term, if that can be regarded as positive. No one likes to think that the population of the U.S. is completely stupid, but if voters supported Bush and his cronies, fully convinced they were the right choice, then Americans...
...China's poorest provinces, Ningxia, abuts the Gobi desert and enjoys few economic advantages in any commercial field except perhaps the cultivation of watermelons. Yet this hasn't stopped the leaders of the sand-swept region from pressing local companies to invest abroad and establish an international presence.

And since Social Security will run a surplus until then (and has been running one for some time), it has billions available that it can tap to fill the gap. Even under conservative estimates, the system as it stands will have enough money to pay all its promised benefits until 2042 and most of its obligations...
...near great--are of tone, style and perspective. Richet's m??tier is juiced, as edgy as Roenick's psyche; it favors obsessive-compulsive tracking shots and some Dolby rumblings that make the theater shudder like a wooden roller coaster. He gooses the actors to high agitation, except Fishburne, who remains Clyde Cool throughout. Indeed, it seems as if Fishburne is the only member of the company to have learned from the original...
