Bush - 43' loses control of Congress & then Rumsfeld "resigns", as if this was more than the minor factor it was. Now, you have Blair resigning in England & a conservative somehow gets control of France, one of the most Socialist countries in Europe. Also, now; Russia's Putin is suddenly openly criticizing the U.S. as a new Naziist 'regime' - Even though his country is still a mess, because he is "in bed" w/ the Russian 'Mafia' ( Whatever, its current context. ). I've always believed that - "After ANY major war, new alliances are soon made; always w/i a period of 'relative' peace, INEVITABLY leading to new conflicts.". This would apparently apply not only to the U.S.'s still ongoing "Cold War" ( Between 'Limousine - Liberals' & 'Neo - Conservatives'. ) but, also to the internal politics of the E.U. Such seemingly 'programmed' / "see - saw" Politics only serves these 'leaders', whom "play these games", & not the citizenry of these countries they are allegedly serving !

Hello Dear Brian,
The best option for President Bush is not to negotiate but to immediately accept what the Congress has decided. The Congress represents the will of the American people who have said that this imperialist war in Iraq must be ended. As has been indicated many times this war is actually for looting the Iraqi oil, and because of this war oil prices have been very high, generating huge profits for oil corporations. (Shame on these corporations, because when they control oil now, oil prices have been three times higher than those prices we paid when Arab dictators were in business). Each dollar of profits from oil is matched by several dollars of profits for the military complex. Our people have been squeezed by these two sets of corporations, and we are really getting tired. People have to inform our president about the tragedy and the beneficiaries of this war, because he may not see these things properly. This war will not be over if our troops do not leave Iraq, because the Iraqis want their country and their oil bad in order to rebuild what we have destroyed. No people will accept imperialist occupation anymore in this century, because occupation means submission and humiliation; hence, it is a violation of freedom and democracy. The worst outcome of this war is when President Bush has brought the Iraqi-Iranian mullahs to power, thinking that they will give him free control of the Iraqi oil reserve. This oil does not secure our national interest but will secure more profits for the leisure class. It is really the time not to sacrifice our blood for greedy elites. Many Thanks and Best Regards.

Good Evening Again Mr.Williams,The report by Bob Faw shows how much the students at the Baghdad University have to struggle each day. When they were conversing with the students from Davidson University it was difficult to hear how some of them said they were scared of being kidnapped or killed and how they don't have any electricity. The students at Davidson probably didn't have an idea of what these young people have to go through each day. But if some did have an idea it is heartbreaking to hear from people your own age. I hope they all can enjoy a peaceful life soon without any more fears of violence. Also the story from Massachusetts about the school children eating healthier at school was a nice piece. My mother attended Tufts University that was mentioned and she loves marshmallow fluff. Thanks to your report I now know where that product originated. With regards to Baghdad if we do stay I hope peace comes soon. But if we leave,well I hope the same thing. Peace to all!

Good Evening Mr.Williams, First of all you don't have to apologize for the late posting. You work hard to work out all the reports that need to be broadcast and being in a new space can be difficult. You are doing a fine job. I agree with the assessment of the war. There is no short answer. It is complicated,but I hope with time we all can find a peaceful end. Then everyone involved can relish in peace. Looking forward to the broadcast.Peace to all!

Great… we loose the English poodle and now have a French one. At least Putin understands that being our "alley" isn’t the best thing to be associated with.
