Our international forays are the main reason that we are so advanced and safe.

Perhaps in another thread someday we can tangle on this one Tuff but I literally almost crapped myself when I read this.

Ha...ha...HA

I would love to go back to a simpler time, but I feel that the second we withdraw from the world stage, we will be in a downward spiral - defensively and in every other way.

That is our problem how again? I'm so sick of this crap. Let someone else sort it out for once.

All I want to do is live a peaceful life, raise a family, make a good income, and die happy.

I do love the idea though. You should vote for Ron Paul.

... by midweek enough information had emerged to conclude that Chávez did, in fact, try to overturn the results. As reported in El Nacional, and confirmed to me by an intelligence source, the Venezuelan military high command virtually threatened him with a coup d'état if he insisted on doing so. Finally, after a late-night phone call from Raúl Isaías Baduel, a budding opposition leader and former Chávez comrade in arms, the president conceded-but with one condition: he demanded his margin of defeat be reduced to a bare minimum in official tallies, so he could save face and appear as a magnanimous democrat in the eyes of the world.
