The death penalty is being applied in the United States as a fatal lottery.
Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962 do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?

Bradley Manning is an American hero.
Bush and Blair combined their efforts to deceive both nations in a carefully coordinated manner more so than anyone is willing to point out in the media.
Tony Blair has turned his back on the principles he claimed he believed in before he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with George W. Bush. He was an entirely different kind of leader.
People in the U.K. cannot understand whether Blair has lost his mind or whether his ambition to be the second-most-powerful man in the world made him lose his mind.
I've enjoyed doing Wolf Blitzer's program and I even enjoyed having a heated debate with Bill O'Reilly. I will do it any time.

I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget.

I don't want to wear what every other women wears. I won't be dictated to.

The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua rather than weakening the Sandinistas actually maintained them in power.
