It's a working progress. They already took the first step a while back and stopped denying TDAS was an error. I think they'll get there eventually.

I really don't know if she said that before. But if she did, well that's sort of what we were after to begin with right? An acknowledgement that they made a mistake and they have learned. If she responds in the exact same way, I would just take it for now. It's up to you though.

Tangling with other countries at a critical time like this would be a very stupid decision, and one I honestly don't think China will make. Yeah, Russia hasn't had a good image lately. But I still don't think they have challenging other world powers as an interest right now. Ugh, the Taiwan affair is just insane. I heard rumors they're considering taking Taiwan back at force, but are too scared to do so since all of the Western countries are keeping close eyes on them. But regardless, it won't happen anytime soon, if at all.

Bush left a big mark alright, but one that America and the world were probably better without. Iraq came out a hundred times worse than before his intervention. Never did find any Weapons of Mass Destruction other than two shoes thrown at his head. I didn't realize the recession was his fault directly, I was under the impression lots of factors sort of stacked together to cause the financial meltdown. Hmm, the Katrina thing is news to me, didn't realize he was that incompetent. But I guess I was really young then and didn't comprehend politics as much. Oh yeah, Clinton left quite a nice legacy of accomplishments, and now his wife is following in his footsteps. I'm surprised he lost to Bush. What did he do to lose the election? Cheney was probably America's equivalent of Vladimir Putin while he was Prime Minister. Made many of the big decisions because the guy above had trouble doing so.

I never tire of him, and he just keeps on giving. Always shows that he cares in the best interests of the public, and not how to protect himself from losing votes. It's a shame there's the two-term amendment, because he could do so much more.

Lol, I'm not sure he ever thought he had a chance to begin with. He was mainly political satire fodder like Sarah Palin.

That makes two of us. I can rant forever sometimes, and can easily get lost in dialogue. It's even more so here since we converse in several lengthy paragraphs at once. I'll drink to that. Abbott needs to go if the Australia ever has a chance of recovery. He just made a new announcement that he was going to drag the debt written country into surplus without any reasoning backing up his claim. Almost everyone called bulls**t on that.

You always struck me as being intelligent and passionate, but now I know you're a bit of an intellectual as well. In my lifetime I don't think we've ever had a Prime Minister who could be a savior like Lincoln or Obama (there were a few outstanding ones before I was born though). Some thought Rudd could have been that. I don't know if he just got too unlucky or if he never had it in him, but fact remains he didn't pull through. I don't trust Bill Shorten anymore than I do Abbott, I know refer to him as "Backstabber Shorten" considering how he attained power.

Usually that's the case with us too. In most cases minority parties don't stand a chance against the big names. But there has been one party which has steadily been gaining supporters. The Green Party, one that's oriented in environmental interests. There's almost no chance they can win the election, but I would like to get them a few more seats in the parliament so they can have more say. So far they only have one seat, which is kind of a impressive feat for a minor party. We've strayed so far from the road to recovery and really need someone to push the country back on the path. I don't know who or when, but I wish they would come sooner.
