Peep #4 on the list, and see where it was last year. Then check #10, and see where it was last year.

Mission accomplished!

I wonder what we'd have thunk of had we dropped $300 billion dollars on alternative energy research. Or improving science, math, & engineering education. Or directly into more pragmatic r&d. Or... maybe paying down the deficit, or giving massive tax breaks to all Americans? Or dealing with the 'immigrant issue'.

I guess nothing's a better indicator of the average American's increasing comfort level than the increasing imbecility of our elected officials.

Bush promised not to be a Nation Builder and he kept that promise. You have something against honest politicians that have the morals to do as they say?

The fact that this report ranked Afghanistan above Pakistan in terms of stability of failed states proved how worthless it is. Move along.

Several European countries need to be ranked higher.
