Bush and his father have been very tight with members of Osama bin Laden's family for decades, and Dubya allowed two dozen members of bin Laden's family to fly out of the U.S. immediately after 9/11 without being questioned, and Dubya embarked on a war against Iraq (which had nothing to do with 9/11), and only now that it is an election year has Dubya again expressed an interest in capturing bin Laden, Dubya has pursued bin Laden single-mindedly.

There are no marriage rights for gays in the countries he cites. There are, instead, what are called "registered partnerships." These partnerships are open to heteros as well as homos." -Andrew Sullivan, 1/28/04 "I'm guilty of an error in my posting about same-sex registered partnerships in Scandinavia.
