When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

In response to the previous Chavez post, here is a clip from the Barbara Walters-
Chavez interview that aired on ABC news this week:
ABC News: EXCLUSIVE: Barbara Walters Interviews Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: "When Walters asks Chavez about the name-calling, he explains it by saying that he wanted his strong words to bring attention to the facts. 'Yes, I call him a devil in the United Nations,' says Chavez. 'That's true. Another time, I said that he was a donkey just because I think that he is very ignorant … about the things that are actually happening in Latin America and the world. If that is an excess on my side, I accept. And I might apologize. But who is causing more harm? He burns people, villages and he … invades nations.'"
