Abraham Lincoln Bush

the American Revolution, World War II, Korea, the Cold War and even Vietnam. Today, Vice President Cheney joined the conservative chorus comparing the calamity in Iraq to the U.S. Civil War. And in that ever-growing White House tall tale, of course, George W. Bush is Abraham Lincoln.

Back in September 2006, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice introduced the shockingly inappropriate Civil War analogy to defend President Bushs stay the course strategy in Iraq:


"Im sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold," Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.

"I know there were people who said, Why dont we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?" Rice said.

Expert warns of unrest as rice price soars


LOS BANOS, Philippines (AFP) ? As the price of rice hovers near record levels, many poor countries face the spectre of riots by hungry people, according to one of the worlds leading rice experts.


Key producers India and Vietnam have both curtailed exports, sending some of the worlds largest rice importers including the Philippines scrambling to procure supplies for their people.


Spot prices have recently hit more than 700 dollars a tonne, more than three times the price of just five years to go.


Industry officials in Thailand, the worlds top exporter, have warned that prices could soon rise to 1,000 dollars a tonne.


Vietnam, the worlds third-largest exporter of the grain, also faces the prospect of a return of the deadly crop disease that impacted heavily on its crop yield last year.


These are just some of the problems that keep Robert Zeigler, head of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) up late at night.
