Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas has been reluctant to act on Iraq.
He doesn’t see any reason why the United States should declare a date for withdrawal.
He intimated that announcing a withdrawal date would send the wrong message.
Apparently the wrong message would be sent to his home State of Kansas.
Kansas is at the heart of ethanol production. They also pump a lot of oil – oil they normally could not sell unless the price of oil were high – as it is today.
Don’t you see that the big wheels in Kansas are making a lot of money because of the continued instability and war in Iraq? Of course they don’t want the United States to pull out. Of course Senator Roberts would be making these bizarre statements.
I am still amazed that a man from a state that makes up less than 1 percent of the total population of the United States is sitting at the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Do you think that is intelligent?
The reason is obviously not political. It must be economic.
If politicians are pushing democracy internationally for economic reasons isn’t it time for Americans to start thinking of domestic politics economically?
How long will young Americans sit in Iraq defending the interests of Kansas corn farmers and oil men?
How many of our good girls and boys from Missiouri, Kentucky, New Hampshire or Nebraskao or any state must be maimed and killed before the people of Kansas have enough money?

Dual Citizenship
President Bush is trying when it comes to immigration.
He just appeared in Omaha, Nebraska in front of an invited audience of 400 people to hear him talk about immigration reform.
He is trying but I don’t think he has the right ideas to solve the ‘problem’.
First of all, I am surprised he found 400 Americans in Nebraska to show up as an audience. Nebraska is one state whose economy that without immigration – illegal or otherwise – would collapse overnight.
I used to be in favor of closing the border but I am not anymore. There is plenty of room in this nation as anyone can tell you.
Mexico and the United States are close. The border is imaginary. Our populations have met in the middle of the continent and we are mixing now. The reality is that rather than a system to integrate these folks it should be admitted they are integrated. Mexico is part of the United States just as the United States is a part of Mexico.
I believe that dual citizenship is the realistic solution to this manufactured problem.
Presidente Fox calling Mexicans that leave Mexico for the U.S. patriots is just as absurd as President Bush calling for immigration reform even though during the time Bush was governor of Texas over 5 million illegal aliens entered Texas.
Anyone in North or South America is an American already. We are living our lives that way and it is about time our governments catch up to reality.
