Actually I think it is the case. I was surprised to see that the US workers 
are more productive than Japanese workers - by whatever statistical method 
such things are computed.

Imagine two states - one that makes steel and uses huge amounts of coal fires 
for that, and one that makes software, and uses only electricy. Energy 
consumption is not by itself a reliable indication of productivity.

What kind of stupid comment is that? Are the leaders of Europe and Russia all 
fools? They have all seen the evidence and support us fully - not to mention 
many other nations.

Today on the news is two were infected by Anthrax in a Florida newspaper with 
a form not found in nature. The time has come to end this non stop string of 
innocent deaths. 

Privately, most countries in the world, even moslem countries are glad we are 
going after that viper's nest to clean it out.
