well, Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) gave a speech at my school today. He claimed he spent the most time with the president of any other senator, and I basically agreed with his stance on the war. He said that we need support from the rest of the world, otherwise the backlash will be more than we can handle. When we try to re-build the government of Iraq, we don't just want American soldiers there, we want Turkish soldiers, German soliders, etc. He also disagreed with the idea of a pre-emptive strike, as other countries may take advantage of a doctrine like that i.e India nuking Pakistan for what they think would be future harm)...I don't know much about politics, so I probably don't remember all of the important things he said, but he had some good things to say...And is there some big deal on Thursday? He said that some more evidence of Iraq hiding weapons was going to come out on Thursday, some taped phone messages or something...anyway, this probably doesn't even make sense, it was an assembly at 8:00 on Monday! It's hard to pay attention!
He also told an amusing anecdote about president Bush, apparently Bush didn't even know that Sweden had an army recently, despite them having the 2nd most powerful in Europe...He continued to argue that Bush wasn't untintelligent...just uninformed, which not many of us bought. ha...this isn't trying to diss Bush, just Biden's argument wasn't all that endearing.
