iraq strife "could be considered a civil war", powell said. this is in sharp contrast to the official position of the bush administration.

if powell had let norman do what he wanted to do the 1st time we wouldn't be having this trouble.

Has anyone else read the Iranian president's letter to American citizens. Two things stand out to me loud and clear -- the Iranian president watches CNN and he's a Democrat.

"Those with insight can already hear the sounds of the shattering and fall of the ideology and thoughts of the liberal democratic systems."

The above was copied and pasted from the Iranian president's letter. The words CNN and Democrat did not appear in his letter. Maybe WDM has confused the section of trash talking between Tech and Georgia fans with trash talking between Democrats/CNN and Republicans/Fox News.

Should you care to read Ahmadi-Najad's entire letter, its at: medias.lemonde.fr/mmpub/edt/doc/20060509/769629_lettre.pdf
