GUEST POST: ANOTHER DESIRE FOR FREEDOM
The following post was submitted by John K. The views may not be the same one's I have. If you have a problem with what's in the post, take it up with him, not me.
A human rights group claimed Tuesday that it has obtained video footage showing dissident activities in North Korea, with demands for freedom and democracy written over a poster of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il. And as we all know, just like in Iraq under Saddam with his pictures, pictures of Kim Jong Il are not to be messed with. No one can authenticate the video, but a man is heard on it yelling
"The North Korean people are suffering from hunger and poverty because of Kim Jong Il's dictatorship and dogmatic politics"
I guess it's true, everyone longs to live in freedom.

SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO ME
What a novel idea. Sealing the borders for protection. Who could ever think of doing something like this? That's what we need to do here, not just for elections but permanently. We need to do something.

THAT GOES FOR LIBERALS HERE AS WELL
"Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., urged Europe to "get over" the fact President Bush was re-elected and work with the United States on common problems.

"I spent a little time in Europe recently, and I have one simple message: Get over it. Get over it. President Bush is our president for the next four years, so get over it and start to act in your interest, Europe," Biden said during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing to confirm U.S. Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice. "But that requires us to engage in the hoped-for diplomacy from the gentle lady from Stanford."

Rice was provost of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., before Bush tapped her to become national security adviser in 2000.

Rice has vowed to work with Europe and other U.S. allies on issues, including Iraq.
Trans-Atlantic relations were hurt following the U.S.-led decision to invade Iraq."
A democrat with some sense, now that's rare.
