for Obama:

ASAP, what do you think we should do about Kurdistan?

should be a greater priority than finding the same for Baghdad.

first term. I don't know who to vote for anymore.

bayonets! http://www.csua.org/u/y3j Romney for 2012!

but I guess that makes as much sense anything else.

2010/7/23-8/9 [Politics/Foreign/Asia/Korea] UID:53895 Activity:nil | 7/22 What's the quick rule to determine if a Korean name is male or
female? I'd hate to address Mr/Ms incorrectly. For example, is
