POPSThe Commander-in-Chef Cooks Up a Storm "Bush: And as people are now beginning to see, Iraq is changing, democracy is beginning to take hold. And I'm convinced 50 years from now people look back and say thank God there was those who were willing to sacrifice. "Curry: But you're saying you're going to have to carry that burden... Some Americans believe that they feel they're carrying the burden because of this economy. "Bush: Yeah, well -- "Curry: They say -- they say they're suffering because of this. "Bush: I don't agree with that. "Curry: You don't agree with that? Has nothing do with the economy, the war? The spending on the war? "Bush: I don't think so. I think actually, the spending on the war might help with jobs. "Curry: Oh, yeah? "Bush: Yeah, because we're buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses."

POPSWhat a wonderful world?!?! Couldn't help but clip these 4 excerpts from news stories on the home page of CNN. The direction this world is headed is nothing short of depressing. World leaders seem inept when it comes to making actual progress towards a better world, as they instead focus entirely on their own image and power. I am hopeful that the pathetic nature of these leaders in conjunction with greater exposure and awareness caused by the Internet will someday lead to a change in the right direction.
