Wow, looks like DrJones was right. I did not expect that name to fade into obscurity that early. Now I feel old 
Speaking of which, does anyone else still remember how on the first day after 9/11 a Japanese far-right group took responsibility for it, claiming it was revenge for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Or was that just a rumour?

Typically, either you keep up with politics, or you couldn't care less. I can't even name the current vice president of the United States. Since Obama didn't keep his promise to get America out of the Middle East, I don't care anymore either.

Although American politics is way more interesting to follow that Russian politics. I don't even know who represents my district in the State Duma. Heck, I don't even if we have electoral districts in Russia! Is Japanese politics any fun?

Ending our presence in Iraq was his main campaign promise, yet 48,000 troops remain. I have no idea why we are still in Afghanistan as well.

If you ever knew CONDI RICE, you're probably not going to forget it anytime soon. The same goes for George Bush. I only use "George Bush" for one story though, worship. This is actually one of my favorite stories, "Some people worship "The Bush" but most people give him the finger and want to hang him from the ceiling."vonPeterhof Wrote:Wow, looks like DrJones was right.

Pulling out with the war being classed as a complete failure, as it always has been, could threaten his popularity.

No one cares about Afghanistan anymore. We got a new war for oil in Libya to fight now.
