Let's hope with all the British bashing from the president, we back off a little from our position of America's poodle/the specail relationship and won't allow ourselves to be dragged into other illegal conflicts which we can't hope to win nor any that endangers our citizens, both at home and around the world.Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35861392.post-57023271976529578992010-06-10T10:24:14.942+00:002010-06-10T10:24:14.942+00:00How many people have died from this spill?

Did the US government lean on India to accept a derisory, inadequate offer to buy out the company's responsibility? Did the US government get the CEO out of India and protect him from extradition and trial? Do ganders need the same sauce as geese?John B Strygenoreply@blogger.com
