Will this make the headline of any major news organization, or will any politician be called to account in any way?

The system is so broken that I really am in despair of it ever being fixed.

Back in 2001, China brought down a US recon plane, and held it until Bush “apologized”.

You don’t think that all they wanted was a tight-lipped “we’re sorry!” do you?

When faced with a real crisis, involving a major world power, Bush caved.

More disturbing, what else did he cave on, but we just haven’t found out about yet?

I can’t even vote, so I hope you all chose wisely. I don’t CARE which party ANYONE belongs to. Put the right people in the right place and go from there. Fighting over ‘titles’ is counter productive. The bad folks need to be gone and a HUGE mess needs to be cleaned up…<br /> Peace :)</p> I’m not a Dem or a Repub. I can’t even vote, so I hope you all chose wisely.
