Now it is a peculiar read, and not all that...factual? realistic? her books always are a little mystical, but there is some excellent description of the changes made in Burma and its oppression and the danger. <BR/><BR/>I'll miss Laura Bush, very much.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949724388906286696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-906809949365983762008-05-06T20:39:00.000-06:002008-05-06T20:39:00.000-06:00Laura Bush is a real Lady.

Her quiet concern and activism is a template for how First Lady's ought to act, it doesn't deserve derision. I hope the wedding this weekend goes well...they deserve a break from the constant barrage of insults.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-61420143720474104842008-05-05T23:08:00.000-06:002008-05-05T23:08:00.000-06:00Great piece Karen, Laura Bush is going to be sorel...Great piece Karen, Laura Bush is going to be sorely missed and this is the first I have heard about this. The President and first lady never toot their own horns unlike the Clintons who were constantly reading their accomplishments out loud for the world to hear. The Bush's seem to to quiet acts of humanitarian efforts and republicans complain and democrats are ignorant. nice job. :)NNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-21325310568789440762008-05-05T21:22:00.000-06:002008-05-05T21:22:00.000-06:00She trying.

What's wrong with her?<BR/><BR/>If the U.N. weren't tied up building a new headquarters, I know they'd be willing to handle the donations. Uhhh..., they always find time for that. <BR/>I guess we're chipping in about $400 million, maybe, it's what is expected. For the building, I mean. Which is better spent there, than giving it to the Burmese authorities, unless we find a way to put aid directly into the hands of those in need.<BR/>Such a cynic, sorry.Paul is a Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119019764545408730noreply@blogger.com
