A truly global President would tell Sweden and Norway to bite the big one and not kowtow to Sudan! against providing support to the UN Darfur force. Do we have do EVERYTHING or NOTHING gets done? UN is useless!!!

Chaotician:

You should be aware by now that the political elite, the Christian Right, and many, many of the "heartland" Americans do not want a Global President! They have watched way to much TV and what they want is George Bush, an arrogant, belligerent, swaggering American bully; Green Beret, gungho, gungho; kill the araborientalblackbrownjesushating people; they only want our money and laugh at us behind our back; they are all illegal immigrants and terrorists at heart; they hate us for our freedoms and rich lifestyles, etc, etc. etc.

Robert of Los Angeles:

2 posts for the price of one on this question.

First off, why the primacy of global warming? This is for the progressives and media elites but I can't imagine its top priority for a currently suffering mass of humankind. You can't eat carbon offsets after all. And the Kyoto Treaty unlike the NATO Treaty does not provide any guarantees, security or economic, that people need to protect their borders or expand their trade. Do Palestinians really consider "sun-stroke" this hot summer as the worst thing they confront? Then there's much hope!!!

I'll forego any tired arguments on Iraq. Let's move on shall we to the consequences of Columbia University and Annapolis and Anbar where it is clear that realignments are happening before our eyes even before Bush leaves.

Barack actually is active talking to Kenyan leadership on the current unrest. I approve within limits but whether this makes him the best man for President I don't know. Unless he overplays his hand, an American Senator with foreign roots frankly is reenacting the Pax Romana Senate where someone hailing from, say Corinth or even Damascus!, is adopted into the Empire and then can be advocate for his people with the powers that be.
