More on the Coalition of the Bribed

[billroper]

This article from the Times of London quotes from a leaked report that gives a great deal of information about Saddam's work to bribe France, Russia, and China via the Oil for Food program and how he skimmed off profits for his own use.

While I can never be accused of understanding the diplomatic approach, I can say that I trust John Kerry to lean on one of his core strengths: that he is a world citizen. Bush, let's be honest, is not.

I'm with James Angove, who said, "it is a observed property of the world, not a hope or a slogan or a choice, that we are all in this together." I want my president to have significant experience with other cultures, other peoples, other languages, and other ways people live in the world. I especially do not want my president to have none of those things.

I wonder if the people who disagree with my position are ones who have not spent much time traveling outside the US.
