How does US President George Bush explain his allay, Ethiopia, is number one enemy of "democracy, freedom of expression, press, information and media", that George Bush is trying to deliver to Iraq and Afgahanistan, with 5 years of war? Where's the Western Media that constantly, condemns, crys and sheds crockodile tears against China, North Korea, etc,,, for luck of "freedom of the Press & Democracy", when their own little stooge in Africa could careless of the very freedoms that the Western Media crys about? It has already been said, "what's good for the gender is good for the goose", or is't the other way around. It's too bad, one can NOT fool all the people, all of the time.

I agree..its odd how people have just come complacent and sit down instead of fighting for what they believe is right..nobody cares about anything anymore, and its all about greed. Money, power, and crush all opposition. In America, this is done with mostly words, but in Ethiopia, its done with force, and America turns its eye as long as we get our military base and intel a nice spot to kick it. Things will get better next year, at least in America if things go the right way into progressive philosophies. Lets hope though that China does anything possible to keep Meles in power...or they got to go!!!!!

The end should say lets hope China does not get in the way when its time for Meles to get out. which , like Bush, was a long time ago. Maybe they can both move to a little island and play in the sand and pretend that they are both commanders in some war.
