Athens, Greece - Institutions such as the press and the courts that have helped keep alive the flame of what America stands for have done so mainly by standing up against the executive. If the Congress manages to impose some prudence and reason on the agenda this will strengthen America's image and may lead to better decisions by the president. This would be to the benefit of the United States and the rest of the world -- irrespective of which party is in the majority.

I myself am a Greek-American and for the most part I agree with Nikos Kostandaras. However, I believe that the Democrats will get us out of Iraq if they take the White House in 2008. There has been much talk of this already and they are finally starting to show their strength. I know what the rest of the world thinks of us as I have been such places as Greece and Albania. The truth is most Americans do not agree with the war. We are good people; however, when one country has too much power, unfortunately, the elitist few run with it with little concern for the rest of the world.
Americans, we need to let our representatives know that we care about the rest of the world. For example, tell them that we want some of the 50% of our federal budget not spent on defense but on development assistance which only constitutes .16% of our federal budget. Then there would not be a need for wars and terrorism. Let's lead the world properly.

US politicians ARE NOT ACTING IN THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. They are acting in the interests of global corporations, and to the extreme detriment of everyone else on the planet.
My husband, Mike Byron, has a new book now available online from book distributors which explains the links between peak oil, political corruption, globalization, global warming, dangerous weather, creeping global fascism, and religious fundamentalism.
It is a wake-up call for the human race.
The book is "Infinity's Rainbow: The Politics of Energy, Climate and Globalization." His webpage is http://www.michaelpbyron.com/
This is a very important book. You will literally feel the scales falling from your eyes.

As long as the interests of zionist-based financial groups define the goals of U.S. politics, as long as the U.S. political scene is privately (corporate) financed (owned), there will be no improvement towards humanity possible. Since EVERYTHING is for sale some way or another and profit is the goal,does a life in Mid-East and elsewhere count at all?

First a shift to prudence and reason in the Congress, followed by an internationalist in the White House. Makapi!
