As FWers will know, I think that Bush is a coward. He is afraid of sacking
his senior staff, such as his last Treasury Secretary, face-to-face.
(However, to be kinder to Bush, it's possibly embarrassment rather than
cowardice. He just hasn't the language or understanding to be able to
explain why

Hi Harry,
Well! Yours (14:38 09/03/03 -0800) was a noble defence of Bush! I can't
possibly answer it. Your and my view of Bush are so different that we will
just have to wait upon events to see who is right.
Generally speaking, you regard Bush as a fine President. I regard him as a
travesty. In

Well . . . an ideal opportunity has occurred straight away which will

Nice to see in today's Toronto Globe and Mail that PM Jean Chretien

I seem to recall that the same suggestion was made to the US toward
