...what of the 11 million illegal immigrants who are in the U.S.? Will they get a chance at the biggest prize--citizenship? No word in the immigration debate is more freighted than amnesty. Everyone who wants to reform immigration policy to legitimize a significant portion of those who are here illegally is quick to insist that what they are talking about is "earned citizenship." The bill that passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, for example, created a path to citizenship that would take 11 years and require that immigrants hold jobs, demonstrate proficiency in English, pass criminal-background checks...
Experts say Exxon is appealing the punitive portion of the case in part to curtail open-ended payouts for future spills.

...knows - maybe Lukashenko will even one day find himself being voted into power in a legitimate election again, the way he did back in his first race in 1994. After all, a good portion of people will always prefer guaranteed rations and order to the messiness and uncertainty of freedom. That in many respects explains the amazing tenacity and comeback of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, who lost the Presidency in December of 2004 to reformer Viktor Yushchenko after the people revolted against a clearly fraudulent initial election in a non-violent surge of people power.
