I'm sure most of you ran across the news that the French rejected
the Euro constitution.
How do you think this will effect the US?
It won't have a direct effect. But the US reaction to it will.
Do you think this will torpedo the EU?
That depends on how the other states vote. At first,

I guess that means that he shows professional courtesy in not trying
to piss people off. I don't think that will change the way he votes.

A post I wrote last October:
The problem with the electoral college is not in the electoral
college, but in the way populations are represented in Congress. I

group; relatively few change between the groups. Many in the losing group
have already given up voting because of that.

What's your perspective on this?

I wonder if people forget that China is just next door to North Korea, and
that they even have an alliance. Not that the Chinese like Kim Jong Il so
much, but they'd never tolerate an invasion like the US did in Afghanistan
or Iraq. However the Chinese might topple Kim Jong Il themselves if the

I have hoped for such altruistic interventions
several times in recent years, but most of the time
they either weren't altruistic or there was no

There has been a great deal of work on voting
science over the past ~200 years. Unfortunately,
the conclusions are it depends. Is the system

helpful or at least fair to poor nations, but I've read enough to
Of course the foreign policy of a state should help that state. But the
question is: what will help the state? Making enemies and pushing away

So we all have to wait until 2008, when GWB's second term runs out.
So, what do you want to discuss?
