In two separate speeches in the past couple of weeks GW has talked about "some people don't think brown-skinned people can have a democracy" and "some people think people whose skin is not our color cannot have a democracy."
First of all, who the hell are these people saying these things?
Secondly, does he honestly think America is WHITE?
One of the quotes:
"There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people whose skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern. I reject that. I reject that strongly. I believe that people who practice the Muslim faith can self-govern. I believe that people whose skins aren't necessarily -- are a different color than white can self-govern."
What the...?

It means he needs better speech writers or editors or at least needs to use them before making such statements.
A problem I have with the whole issue is in trying to figure out what give us the right to determine the type of government under which another country is run.

God. I just saw this post. I'm surprised this hasn't caused more of a furor. That's just ridiculous. Where were Colin and Condoleeza when he was saying that? Speaking of Colin, am I the only one who thinks that Colin seems embarrassed to be there sometimes? |

Isn't this essentially Star Trek's Non-interference policy? The Enterprise isn't allowed to interfere with the normal course of development of a galaxy/civilization/planet. There's a special term they used on the show. I can't remember what it is. |
