Perhaps Bush saw Miss Saigon and was sad about how tragic it is, so wanted to prevent something like that from ever happening?  |

| I suppose that if I were ever to go back to visit the Itaewon District of Seoul, then I might not recognize the place. The activities of the whores outside the US military base reminded one of a cattle market. |

the prostitute faux scandal sounds like a great curtine to the fact that there were so many voices in the pro-legalization of drugs side of the debate in this summit.

I wouldn't exactly say this prostitution thing is a faux scandal, it's noteworthy and I think heads should roll in the Secret Service for it regardless of the legality of prostitution here or in Colombia. Now I think some people are getting little too excited trying to tie the blame to Obama administration and use it as a political football.
I agree tho, the whole drug legalization thing got completely swept under the rug rather conveniently. The Obama administration pretty much categorically denied ever considering decriminalization even tho he paid lip service to 'reform'. Our government is the real narco-state, they will never consider it because it would cut into their profits. |

It's population wants to remain British and it has never been in Argentinian possession any amount of, certainly not as long as it has been in British hands. Is there something important on the Falklands that I don't know about or is just the a distraction for the Argentinian government because of their pathetic government that has taken their country from one of the richest in the world in the early 20th century to sad bankrupt shell. |
Both. They've found oil.
