In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
Okay, I'll blog BrinkLindsey's appreciation of the Bush Administration's plan to eliminate tariffs on industrial goods by 2015. Everybody else seems to be. But really, I'm getting tired of this Administration's penchant for putting out bold plans and then following up weakly. I'd like for once to be surprised by a soft speech being followed up by bold action.

And let me say this as well: Iraq is a test of the Bush Administration's ability to get anything done in the international arena, on any front. If we wind up being Blixed by the U.N., and Saddam is still there, and still armed, in a year, nothing the President says - on any topic - will be taken seriously abroad. And that includes on trade.
