...always nice to see a friend. as U.S. President George W. Bush prepared to leave Washington-where his poll numbers are slumping and his second term is mired in a swamp of scandal-for a week's swing through Asia, he could at least be assured of a warm welcome at his first stop. In Kyoto, Bush was to meet Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi. Bush loves Koizumi, and the feeling is mutual.

A society that promotes dependence on government to always get it out of difficulties has only itself to blame. The problems caused...
...hurricane relief after Rita. Of course, that strategy only underscores that this President is clueless. Bush moved quickly when two things of great importance to him were threatened: the Texas oil infrastructure and his poll ratings. Brandon Bittner Royersford, Pennsylvania, U.S. Building a major city on a low-lying swamp in a hurricane corridor is about as intelligent as building a house of cards on a bowling lane.
