Pork-Barreling Done In; Iran; Environmentalism

Like Bush before, behind all the yelling, Obama is doing some good things. I'm no fan of his waffling-passing-as-patience foreign policy style but domestically he seems to be ready to really change pork-barreling - much to Nancy Pelosi's dismay. Still no clue how she made it all the way to Speaker of the House.

Can someone please tell me why in the world the West still doesn't take that maniac in Iran at face value? Do people really believe, after all the violent and crazy rhetoric he has spewed, he won't try and "erase Israel" once he gets the bomb?

I wonder how he views Obama's recent anti-defense missile move. War is not the solution but the West must keep a very close eye on him and act accordingly if need be if we get a whiff he's on his way to having nuclear capabilities.

So far, it looks as though Paul Erhlich is wrong. His supporters, of course, say on a big picture level he's not. Whatever. While there's no doubt in my mind we're not exactly kind to the earth, just look at what's happening in the Amazon (that saddens me to no end), I do feel men like Erhlich take a far too pessimistic view of humanity. Less scientific, more emotional?
