Mandela Interviewed

Mandela is interviewed about his, The U.S.A. Is a Threat to World Peace, comment.

I gather you are particularly concerned about Vice President Cheney?
Well, there is no doubt. He opposed the decision to release me from prison [laughs]. The majority of the U.S. Congress was in favor of my release, and he opposed it. But it�s not because of that. Quite clearly we are dealing with an arch-conservative in Dick Cheney.

Which isn’t one of the more pretinant comments but still quite an ironic situation.

One Nation, What a Cluster Fuck

The State Department sends in the Marines to consign a U.S. citizen to Saudi hell. Yep that is right, U.S. Marines removed an U.S. citizen from the embasy into the Saudi police. Sure it happened under the first Bush, but Clinton and the twig didn’t or haven’t done anything either. I’m still soundly of the mind that the only Foriegn or Dometistic policy is the “right thing”. At least then when we, because let’s face we suport the decisions by proxy that is why it is called Representative Democracy, screw up it will not be for all the wrong reasons.
