How Chirac plans to deal with terrorist states. France always gets away with belligerence whenever it suits them. Playing the nuke card is no small beer. Especially in light of Iran's march toward a bomb and the internal unrest France has with their Muslim population. I think France is telegraphing their willingness to prevent Iran from going nuclear at all costs. They would never pre-emptively nuke Iran but I can see them passively, or even actively aiding the US in doing so.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
