Why do you tempt me in? BC was imperfect. His relentless efforts to find middle ground with neocons and end the divisiveness were ended too soon. He wasted the same charm on ugly interns.
But to ignore BC's efforts in India is especially loony. They were huge and masterful. And I will not look lower down. You and I are done for now, John. Thrive. Enjoy the cult. If they win, I may someday badly need friends who had supported them, so I apologize for anything you found offensive. --- JDG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 02:10 PM 10/14/2004 -0700 David Brin wrote: > >> Today, relations with India (and Pakistan) are > >> stronger than ever. > > > >Thanks to Bill Clinton > > What's next from you Dr. Brin - that Bill Clinton > wrote the Declaration of > Independence? > > When the Bush Administration came into office, their > central animating > theme of foreign policy was that the US needs to > prepare for a world in > which it is no longer the lone superpower, but in > which China was a > competing superpower.
