You Can't Win
President Bush--as stated in his State of the Union--wants to replace fossil fuels with hydrogen fuels. Do you think that would quiet environmentalists? No. Here's a quote vis-a-vis using hydrogen fuel cells:
"This would result in cooling of the lower stratosphere and the disturbance of ozone chemistry," the researchers wrote. It would mean bigger and longer-lasting ozone holes in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where drops in ozone levels have been recorded over the past 20 years. They estimated that ozone depletion could be as much as 8 percent.
Not everyone is against it, but my question to the people who are: What the heck do we do? Do we go back to the horse & cart? We HAVE to use some sort of fuel to power our transportation vehicles. As of now, the cleanest fuels cannot provide enough energy at a cheap enough price. That may change, of course, but not in the immediate future.
By changing to hydrogen, we're getting better; we're getting cleaner. Shouldn't that be enough?!

Where's The Consistency, Dubya?
Bush, we love you. You're a nice guy and a much better President than our last one. You've done so much for this country in a time of war and ambiguity. But, come on, what's this?
Bush said he was "troubled" by the Israeli helicopter attack on Abdel Aziz Rantisi in Gaza. Such incidents don't promote Israel's security, he said, and may "make it more difficult for the Palestinian leadership to fight off terrorist attacks."
This strike was, of course, Israel's attack on the leader of the known terrorist organization Hamas.
It doesn't make any sense, Mr. President. Terrorists attack us and we fight them. In the case of Iraq, terrorists didn't even attack us directly: we merely thought there was a strong connection. So we preemptively struck them. We're tough on terror. Why can't they be?
If we had attacked Afghanistan after 9/11 and Sharon had said he was "troubled" by that, don't you think he would have been viewed as an unthinking idiot? C'mon, Mr. Bush. We know you want peace; we all want peace. But Israel can't stand idly by while terrorist groups--who don't even want Israel to EXIST--suicide attack her people. Don't sacrifice the lofty (and some say unachievable) goals of peace in the Middle East for common sense!
