Not hard to do and I'm glad to do it. Second, the problem in this country is if the Democrats square off with Bush and try to stop the "plan" then they, in effect, may own the problem come the next election. If they let him go ahead they're called a "do nothing congress" and they lose as well. It's a tough place for them to be right now, politically. I doubt Bush has an IQ of 88, but he does have what we might call "hardening of the categories" in that he seems incapable of seeing things in more detail than stark black and white. Thinking like this can lead to confrontations that might make things escalate rather quickly to a nuclear war and if that happened the above refrenced picture might be more common than it is now. Ugh. Sheryl: First, you can always ask me to edit or delete a comment, any time. Not hard to do and I’m glad to do it.

It's quite an image. And yes, I think the man has taken leave of his senses completely. He is said to have an IQ of 88. Unable to think logically---- Which is not such a big problem unless you are "the most powerful man in the world."

To me it's a little more like nuclear winter than medieval prince.. sometimes you get so much more than you bargain for when you snap that shutter huh Richard? This photo is gorgeous and scary.
