Speaking of world leaders not shaking hands with other world leaders, what's your take on Carter and Annan being denied a visa for Zimbabwe? Surely, your contempt for Bush should match that of Mugabe. Right?<br />

<br />
could you start two different, completely separate blogs?<br />
<br />
one, with the poignant and awesomely poetic observations of world history as it unfolds...<br />
<br />
and the other one just full of weird horny non-sequiturs about butts and asians and celebrating your stance on how all african males love to share their women, and the women love it too?<br />
<br />
i guarantee i'd read the weird one as much as the important one. but mingling them both together just makes you seem kinda crazy.

      <![CDATA[See, this is the reason that Republicans and Democrats don't understand each other.  It's not a one to one mapping.  Republicans believe its up to the American People -- businesses, organizations, neighborhoods -- to solve problems bottom up.   Democrats are meanwhile savoring at the thought of using the current crises to generate ever more large bureaucracies.  <br />
<br />
To say that "Bush didn't do anything" is to say that "you didn't do anything" to fix the problems.

      <![CDATA[@2:  Agreed.  It appears prearranged, although its purpose escapes me.  Nobody, including Bush, seems to expect that he will be included in the hand-shaking.  My best guess is that this occurred immediately after the agonizingly long ceremony where he greeted all of them, and thus it was deemed unnecessary for him to shake their hands again.  Pretty awkward, though.<br />
<br />
Bush's fate tied to al Qaeda's fate.  If you reverse direction, I suppose he was at the height of his popularity immediately following the height of their success, wasn't he?  The analogy becomes even more frightening the further one follows it. Hm.
