    Which has brought the greater change? Hussein being enthroned
    by the CIA, or his being deposed by, as his former puppet rather
    affectionately still calls him in his speeches, 'Little Bush'?

    Remember your dissapointment before a real Plaza de Toros?
    Well, let's say we put aside that stupid bull from that fourth-rate
    story, and talk about people. If you lived here, you'd think twice
    before the paeans. 'Enduring liberty' and all that is often no more
    than so many banderilleros and toreadores. In my hemisphere it is
    sometimes very, very difficult to see how some American actions
    carried out in these parts of the world are in the best interest of
    the American people.

    The fact that theirs is undeniably an exemplary democracy with
    an admirable history of fighting for human rights doesn't make
    the comparison easier.

    (All right. Last stop before going back to lurking.)
