If the next president is naive, Africa could become the next Iraq. The Chinese are already in direct negotiations in Zimbabwe. They could care less about our definition of a despot or global warming. The world has already failed in Somalia and Sudan. Nigeria is up for grabs and China is there. U.S. primacy is receding. Obama and the Congress want us out of Iraq and the Middle East. How can we jump feet first into a continent when we can't even agree on foreign policy and oil for a country. The world must provide the stability and more than just another U.N. resolution or China will establish a primary foothold in the African continent.

McCain - "Stumble about in geriatric fashion". Obama - "the "race-neutral" candidate, will offer general denunciations of despotic regimes" Senator Obama may be prejudice-free, but Peter and Charles certainly are not. They colored an article about the importance of Africa with blatant age discrimination. What would their response be if the tables were turned on the candidate they so fervently support? And since both authors are in positions to influence large numbers of particulary young folks with the filth and hate of prejudice, why would any of us dare let them or anyone they support anywhere near the highest office in the land. Shame on you both!

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
