that need to be recognised for us to have some perspective and awareness about what
we think and why we think that way.

by: Ron Thornton

 Looking Beyond
The Imperial Thinking of Uniter President Bush- Monday, March 24, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The preculiar stance taken by the United States as some guardian of freedom and liberty
told everyone that their invading forces would be welcomed by the Iraqi people as
liberators. Apparently this prediction was a little optomistic. Mario deSantis shines
the light of his research on some other troubling paradoxes that seem to be emerging
from the bombastic rhetoric of the American leadership.

 Bush's Might and
Money impede his Impeachment: The Common People of the World will take
care of Bush&Co.- Monday, March 24, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The Republican lead attempt to unseat the last president was based on the man's sexual
escapades but Mario deSantis has detected a movement in the United States that wants
to impeach their current president for his breaches of the constitution and international
law. But Mario believes that the war has strengthened the President's support in
Congress and it is unlikely that such movement could progress. This prompts Mario
to suggest an alternative solution to controlling the American warmonger.
