I wish our doofus president was as shrewd as the highly intellectual Tony Blair.

Yeah, our "dumb" President was crazy not to attend and get this kind of reception.

Bush has more sense than to attend a conference run by tyrants, dictators, ideologues, racists, and assorted fanatics. What did Blair expect?

You'd think that Blair would know by now that there is no way to appease thise racist thugs. But then he is a liberal and they don't learn well.
Not that I want to take up for British colonialism but the British did manage to civilize the natives. Now they are going in the opposite direction.

Mr Mugabe said no white farmer would be left without land, Yes. Each white farmer will be placed under six feet of prime Zimbabwe land.

We need to make these neo-communists irrelevant ASAP.
Universities and the liberal media are saturated with their crap. Before long it will be the face of politics in our country, you are seeing the beginning in California.

Overnight, negotiators reached compromises on sanitation. "Flush toilets will be phased out worldwide by 2006, rather than 2004 as demanded by the environmental activists."

"But we say this - we have fought for our land, we have fought for our sovereignty. Small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood in sustenance and maintenance and protection of that independence." Sounds like something Israel could say, and then 'just do it'!

To add a phrase to Rhet Butler's statement
"Frannkly, I don't give a damn" what they say in the earth summit. I think they can critcize the USA all they want. I also believe that those who condemn the USA should lose all foreign aid from the USA.
It is our money, and we should only give it to our friends.

"Flush toilets will be phased out worldwide by 2006, rather than 2004 as demanded by the environmental activists." A major city without flush toilets? What the hell are they talking about?
To: ET(end tyranny)
"Small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood in sustenance and maintenance and protection of that independence." And if the people don't rise up now to throw out a thug like Mugabe, they all deserve to starve. We shouldn't send one penny of aid to prop up this dictator.

in his keynote speech to the summit, threatened to shed blood if that was what it took to continue his controversial land reforms, Thats some threat, Mugabe has already spilled blood.

How can we support the white farmers in Zimbabwe? What can we do (I'm serious...I feel worried about them).

INTRODUCTION OF THE FLUSH TOILET DEPLORED AT EARTH SUMMIT Johannesburg (CNSNews.com) - In what some see as a sign that the Earth summit is literally going down the drain, an environmentalist at the Earth summit here has lamented the introduction of the flush toilet.
A female panelist from India complained that the flush toilet encourages excessive water consumption around the world and is not ecologically friendly.
The remark prompted an associate of Smith, CEI's Chris Horner, to ponder what alternative the woman would suggest. "Presumably the preferred solution to human waste problems is now abstinence," Horner quipped.
