Actually, Obama should have won the Nobel prize for Literature. Since they awarded him his prize based on his speeches.

Boy, you are dense.... The problem is that people usually have no choice who govern’s them. This is the great American contribution to the world. This is why we push so hard for elections in our "nation building".

A universal rule of nature is for life to seek freedom to survive and thrive. So in your world certain people are born to be slaves, not born with natural freedoms. You're quite the Aristotelian.

He joins other visionaries such as Jimmy Carter and Yasir Arafat.

I would like this list to become reality but it won't happen for many years (expect gas). In the meantime we need more domestic oil. We all know that Nuclear and chemical plants end up in poorer States and in poorer neighborhoods in poorer States.

The sad fact is that we receive only 15% of our oil from the Middle east. We could easily replace that with domestic oil if we loosened the drilling regulation a little bit. So all our efforts in the middle east are to the benefit of Europe and Asia who rely on the middle east for most of their...
