Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria, Shrivered nervously as she held the Bible, while California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George administered the oath. "I am humbled, I am honored and I am moved beyond words to be your governor, and by the way, those ants are toast" Schwarzenegger said after being sworn in. In a nod to his wife's famous uncle, Schwarzenegger added: "In the words of my wife's famous uncle, President Kennedy, 'I am an opportunist idealist without illusions."'

berlusconi will probably put a quick stop to that.
i guess this is what happens when you don't stand for anything anymore. if you can only define your beliefs in terms of what you hate (e.g., "i hate bush" or "i hate american power"), your arguments are vacuous.

I think they should hang with the Kurds and Shiites for a while. they'd have a different view of things I'm guessing.
the sad thing is, that if you support the "liberationists", you're doing nothing more than supporting saddams regime. but europeans are dumb lot.

that bbc link had me reading the site, and i went to see the readers' comments. a large proportion of comments were from british folks who agree with US/UK policy on iraq. many were quick to point out that if 100,000 are protesting, that's 59.9 million who aren't.

Myk Murphy:
yeah, the press has overplayed the crisis in iraq. large amounts of iraq are humming along pretty well, if not rolling in prosperity just yet. 30 attacks on US troops daily, but given the size of the country and the desperation on the sunni side, it's not a huge number.
i hope that we don't lose too many more soldiers to keep ahmed chalabi & co. in power, but the message that "new iraq" sends to its neighbors is more important than iraq itself. of course, as a card-carrying member of the "why haven't we bombed syria yet" club, my optimism may appear to be biased. to be fair, i've wanted to roll over damascus since gulf war I, but people tell me that you can't just do that.

ONE IN THREE BRITONS THINK BUSH IS STUPID - POLL
Sat Nov 15 2003 19:43:02 ET
The full extent of the low regard Britons have for George Bush was tonight revealed in a poll.
The US President was branded a threat to world peace by a clear majority, 60%, of those questioned by YouGov.
More than one in three, 37%, said Mr Bush was "stupid" while 33% called him "incoherent".
Only a minority saw positive characteristics in Mr Bush, with just 7% regarding him as a good world leader, 6% as articulate and 10% as intelligent.
The findings are published in The Sunday Times ahead of his state visit to Britain next week, the first by a US leader.
A slim majority of those questioned opposed the visit by 26% to 21% although half did not care.
There was sympathy with anti-war campaigners who plan a series of protests to mark the visit with a majority of 53% to 41% supporting the demonstrations.
The antipathy toward Mr Bush is matched by an increasingly gloomy view of Iraq.
For the first time a majority said Britain and America were wrong to go to war with Iraq by 45% to 43%.
The question has been asked repeatedly since March and when US troops entered Baghdad in April voters were in favour of the war by 66% to 29%.
Now almost three-quarters, 73%, expected the security situation to get worse over the next few months.
Only 15% believed that things would get better in Iraq with just 18% saying the country's future would be as a peaceful democracy.
An overwhelming 70% thought there was little hope for the people of Iraq and that it would be a permanently unstable country.
Despite this, there is not a clamour to bring Britain's troops home.
One in five, 20%, said UK forces in Iraq should be withdrawn immediately and 26% said they should return home within six months whatever the security situation.
However, 47% believed Britain had a duty to retain forces there.
There was little faith in the President's ability to handle the continuing problems in Iraq.
Fewer than a quarter, 24%, had confidence in Mr Bush on Iraq, while 74% did not.
Prime Minister Tony Blair fares only slightly better with 38% expressing confidence in him compared with 59% who did not.
There was also scepticism about the "special relationship" between Britain and the US.
Only a third, 34%, thought the relationship should continue as at present with Britain remaining America's closest ally.
A larger proportion, 47%, said that Britain should continue as one of America's allies but be ready to pursue a more independent line.
Some went further, with 14% saying Britain should no longer regard America as a close ally and should pursue its own interests irrespective of what Washington thinks.
YouGov surveyed a representative sample of 1,934 adults, online, on Thursday and Friday, November 13-14.

Good morning, unintelligent world leaders. Bush is not a learned man, but don't hate him... His plan is ambitious, if risky, and americans would rather screw up by doing something, versus screw up by not doing something.
