We only need to protect the wild relatives of crops like rice, potatoes and maize.....

Arabs unhappy at Bush re-election: "four years of nightmare" CAIRO: People in the Middle East reacted with resigned disappointment yesterday to US election results that showed President George W Bush winning four more years in power.

Many said they feared another four years of Bush would bring more conflict ...

And now ... 4 more years of war? By putting George W. Bush back in the White House for four more years, the American electorate has voted for war. This is the single most important outcome of the American presidential election.
The American public knows it is already at war - at war in Iraq; at war against "global terror;" at war against Osama bin Laden and against the new "bogeyman," Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi; at war against all those who would challenge American supremacy; at war against Islam itself!
